Description

Gibbs House is a beautifully situated, traditional 5 bedroom detached house set within substantial garden grounds of approximately 2 acres. The original part of the house dates from around 1800. From its elevated position, the front of the property boasts excellent views over the estuary and surrounding countryside. The rooms throughout are beautifully presented and generously proportioned with many having a double aspect to maximise light. The property benefits from oil fired central heating and UPVC double glazing and has a flexible layout which will suit a variety of purchasers.

Outside, the extensive garden grounds of 2 acres (approx.) are laid mainly to lawn with areas of woodland and mature hedges offering an excellent degree of privacy. Included within this area is a double garage, outbuilding and large gravelled parking area.  Given the desirable position and size of the plot, there would be the development potential, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions.
