Description

Grove House is an elegant, period residence which stands at the end of a long, private and gravelled driveway in a hidden spot and benefits from a high degree of privacy within its beautifully tended grounds. The property has been well maintained over the years and is well presented throughout with a superb living kitchen being the focal point of the ground floor and ample bedroom provision to the upper floors.

Planning permission was previously granted for a two storey extension to provide a further living room and the creation of a particularly fine principal bedroom suite with a dressing room and bathroom. Part of the planning permission which was for the extension of the bay window to the drawing roon together with a new porch and these works have already been carried out. It is therefore believed that the remainder of the planning permission is still valid although potential purchasers must satisfy themselves in this regard. Planning permission also provided for the creation of a detached three bay garage with large leisure room above.
