A 1950s three double bedroom detached house in need of renovation and modernisation throughout with a separate detached garage, set in 3.51 acres or thereabouts in a most delightful semi-rural location.

A rare opportunity to acquire a three double bedroom detached house with considerable potential, set in 3.51 acres or thereabouts in a most delightful semi-rural location on Rigg Lane bordering to open countryside and woodland affording wonderful views.

Green Park was built c.1953 by our client's relative and has never before been on the open market. The property requires a program of renovation and modernisation throughout and offers considerable potential for extension and alteration, including a possible replacement dwelling subject to obtaining necessary planning permission.

The layout extends to approximately 1,305 sq ft over two floors comprising on the ground floor; entrance hall, WC, lounge, dining room, kitchen, pantry, rear porch and coal house. The first floor landing leads to three double bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. The property has the original single glazed wood framed windows, solid fuel heating from a back boiler off the Aga, and the house was rewired approximately 13 years ago.

We are informed that the property was subject to a Coal Board claim for subsidence during the late 1970s. However, there is no evidence of recent or progressive movement in the property.

Outside - Green Park stands with a driveway and detached garage, garden area, including a former orchard, paddock and agricultural land. The agricultural land extends to 3 acres or thereabouts. In all, the property extends to 3.51 acres or thereabouts bordering to open countryside and woodland affording wonderful views. The property stands back from Rigg Lane behind a hedgerow boundary frontage with double gates attached to stone pillars opening onto a generous sweeping driveway with turning space which continues to the rear of the property where there is a brick built detached garage with an adjoining utility room and store. To the rear of the property, there is further driveway space, a shed, greenhouse and a single garage of iron construction which has been painted in black. A pathway to the front and other side of the house flanked by low stone walled boundaries leads round to the rear of the property. To the left hand side of the driveway is a former orchard garden which has several apple trees. The gardens have been neglected for some years, the orchard and paddock areas provide a very useful amenity. There is a separate farm gate entrance further down on Rigg Lane which gives vehicular access to the land and to a timber clad tractor barn with a corrugated tin roof, external water supply and an adjoining lean to store.
