Go straight ahead at the small roundabout in Loans and continue on the A759, passing the entrance to Taylor Wimpey’s Princess Gate/Queen’s Court developments.

DESCRIPTION
The property comprises a detached single storey building fronting onto Main Street (A759). The structure is at least partly of timber frame construction with an external cladding of brick, under what is believed to be a timber frame (pitched) roof clad with tiles. There are double leaf timber doors in the north gable of the building. The ground surrounding the property is overgrown and includes some areas of concrete, one of which might have been the base for a garage or store. The property is bounded to the A759 by a heavily overgrown wall, which includes an entrance gap sufficiently wide to allow vehicles to access the site. The other three boundaries are defined by timber post and wire fencing. We understand that the building is served by a septic tank which is located in the field to the west of the property.

ACCOMMODATION
