4 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

GUIDE PRICE £850,000 - £895,000. Hidden from the main road at the end of a private driveway is where you will find Riverhall Cottage occupying a sheltered position within its 0.99 acre plot of mainly lawned gardens backing onto open farmland. The property itself has been extended and re-modelled to create a spacious four bedroom family home with its 21' sitting room with inglenook fireplace and kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and bi-folding doors being just two of the feature rooms that make up the accommodation. The property's other features include double glazing and gas central heating via radiators, a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom with the three other bedrooms having use of a large shower room. We should also draw to you attention that in 2012 Wealden District Council granted planning consent for the construction of a four bedroom detached home arranged over two levels within the gardens of Riverhill Cottage. We understand its position had been determined by the location of an underground gas main and to take advantage of the spectacular views whilst affording the new house with privacy from the neighbouring properties. The consent also required the condition of the existing property to be demolished when the new home is built. This planning permission expired in 2015 and any interested purchasers requiring further information as to the possibility of developing the plot should approach Wealden District Council directly.
