Detached House
Quarry Bank is a short cul-de-sac located off Smedley Street West, towards the fringe of the town serving a handful of properties and enjoying an elevated situation with extensive views over the town to Riber and beyond.
The house has the unique and rather special advantage of an extensive area of hillside woodland to rear, believed to extend to more than 2 acres (subject to verification), has a delightful sun terrace to front, and ample car parking/turning space to side. There may be the possibility of some development potential within this area of the site, and certainly the attached double garage has possibilities for absorption into the living accommodation, possibly with a further storey above.
The existing accommodation is fairly extensive but would benefit from a scheme of updating for which there is ample potential. It is however uPVC double glazed and has the benefit of gas central heating.
A physical inspection of the property is most strongly recommended and in more detail it comprises the following –

A tarmac’d drive leads to a parking and turning area an Attached Double Garage 19’ wide x 16’ deep, with two up and over doors, personal door to side, light and power connected, loft storage accommodation.
It is considered that this could be absorbed into living accommodation if desired and subject to any necessary planning permission, possibly creating more than one storey, with garage accommodation within another area of the garden.
To the rear of the house is a small paved yard with a ramped access to the rear entrance, behind which is a belt of shrubs forming the lower part of the hillside garden with attractive woodland, leading up to the former quarry face. The garden extends behind adjoining property, and (subject to verification) is believed to extend to over two acres.
