Description
The Old Police Station is as its name would suggest, was once the Police Station for the village of Leigh Sinton. It has now been converted into a three bedroomed detached property situated in generous grounds approaching 0.3 of an acre. To any potential buyers the property offers huge potential as it is in need of some cosmetic refurbishment but more importantly offers the opportunity (subject to the relevant permissions being sought) to extend and develop further into a fine family home in a popular and much sought after village. Through the generosity of the grounds there could, if permission were granted, be space to create a separate dwelling.
The house is approached over a shared road where the driveway to Old Police Station leads through double wrought iron vehicular gates between brick pillars, topped with lanterns. These gates open to allow parking for vehicles and gives access to a detached single garage with carport to side.
The grounds to the property lie mainly to the two sides although to the rear of the house steps lead from the carport to a paved patio area with raised beds, in turn giving access to an obscure double glazed door that opens to the accommodation which offers well proportioned rooms, all of which have been well maintained by the owner but it is now in need of cosmetic refurbishment although it does benefit from double glazing and gas central heating.
