House - Ashbourne
An opportunity to acquire a well presented freehold family house believed to date from circa 1740 in its earliest part thus being a fine early Georgian property. The property has great potential in the form of an extensive range of stone barns and buildings which have planning consent to be converted into three holiday cottages and thus offers the opportuni ty to generate some income. Alternatively and subject to planning the buildings could be converted into home offices, leisure facilities or a combination of all three. Furthermore there is a good modern agricultural building which currently offers two stables and storage but has further potential for those with equine interests. The house is approached through a pair of electrically operated wooden five bar gates leading to a gravelled drive offering parking for a large number of vehicles, to the left and in front of you are the range of buildings including a garage and games room and to the right are steps down to the front door of the house.
