In the garage there are two boilers, water storage tanks and a car charger while above the garage is a spacious fitted guest room and a shower room that could always be converted into a small annex or a teenager’s ‘hideaway’. Alternatively it would be possible to convert the entire building into a separate annexe for adult children or elderly relatives, subject to the appropriate planning permissions.
