An opportunity to acquire the former Royal Oak public house now converted into this substantial four bedroom family home with many original features, two large reception rooms, off road parking, garage and large rear garden.
This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire the former Royal Oak public house believed to have been originally built during the 1830s and later converted during 2010 by the existing vendors into this substantial four bedroom family home. The property retains many original period features throughout its flexible accommodation which includes the two large ground floor reception areas allowing enough space in one for a grand piano and the other to be a cosy sitting room with a suitable area to be used as a study. The propertys other features include gas central heating via radiators, off road parking and large rear garden with both the property and the plot offering tremendous potential to either increase the size of the existing property or perhaps to re-develop the plot entirely, both of course subject to obtaining the necessary consents. In view of the tremendous opportunity this particular property has to offer we have no hesitation in recommending interested applicants view without delay.
