The Property
Lilac Bank is a detached, former railway cottage, with living accommodation set across two floors. The property offers potential development opportunity either as a renovation or possible replacement, subject to the relevant planning consent.
The Accommodation
The main access into the property is directly off the parking area and leads into the reception hall which is lined with quarry tiles. The reception hall gives access to all the downstairs rooms and staircase. To the end of the hall is a galley kitchen which overlooks the side garden and rural farmland and is fitted with wall and floor mounted storage units and the low-level boiler. The final downstairs room is a large family lounge with adjoining dining area, with multiple windows that flood the space with natural light. Also off the dining area is an adjoining greenhouse.
To the first floor, a wide landing leads to two double bedrooms, both of which are of similar size and overlook the front aspect of the property. Finally, the family bathroom which has spectacular rural views concludes the internal space.
Outside
Externally, the property benefits from dual vehicular access. The primary entrance is through a gateway, with the secondary off the A5104. Both lead onto the driveway and parking area, which has space for multiple vehicles and gives access to the garage workshop, which benefits from electricity and heating. From here a rear courtyard leads into the main garden area.
Directly behind the property is a modest private cottage garden which is laid to lawn and surrounded by shrubs and hedging. A wooden pergola leads to the main section of garden, which is also neatly laid to lawn with mature native trees and is flanked by established hedging.
