About the property
Occupying a generous plot of approximately one-third of an acre (STS) and enjoying a backdrop of open countryside, Walnut Tree House is a rarely available former village police house offering exceptional potential for improvement, extension (subject to the necessary planning permissions) and long-term family living. The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, comprising three reception rooms, a kitchen with traditional walk-in pantry, utility room, ground floor bedroom and a separate WC. To the first floor are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
