Description

This delightful bungalow has been much extended since it was first constructed in 1972. It was originally built following the granting of a planning consent by Bromsgrove Rural District Council on 27th July 1971 for an agricultural dwelling (Ref: BR 454/71). Until then, this area was a greenfield site and consent was only granted on the understanding that such occupiers of the dwelling be \"employed full-time in agriculture\" as defined by Section 221 (1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1962 (now amended) \"or forestry, or a dependant of such a person residing with him/her (but including a widow or widower of such a person)\".

Due to this occupancy restriction, it makes the property in the eyes of general High Street building society lenders a \"business asset\" and therefore, obtaining a usual mortgage, as with normal domestic properties, would not be possible.

The accommodation is very habitable, although it would be expected for a new owner to factor into their offer the costs of refitting the kitchen and bath/shower room areas.

The property is located at the bottom of the hill, on what is now a no-through road and a bridleway, which leads to the village of Beoley. It is situated in a quiet, secluded and some might consider a pleasantly remote location.

The property is set back from the road behind a pair of diamond brace timber gates that lead to the driveway, which provides parking for multiple vehicles and gives access to the double garage with carport to the side. A pair of part glazed doors open into:
