Garage

The property owns a garage on a separate title deed adjacent to the house just down Lyncombe Hill. Planning has been submitted and approved for: Alteration of flat roofed garage and rebuilding of same with a pitched roof. The details for this planning can be found on BANES planning portal under ref: 24/03192/FUL. Currently the garage could be used for off-street parking but not ideal for storage due to lack of roof. Large in size, not quite a double but large enough for one vehicle and further storage space.
