The estate consists of two residential dwellings near the main entrance. The smaller of the two is a two-bedroom residence that has recently undergone refurbishment, providing a modern living space with a kitchen, living area and a bathroom.

The larger dwelling spans two floors, offering multiple rooms, single bathroom and has the potential to be repurposed as four flats.

Calvin Molinari, agency surveyor at Shepherd, said: “The property offers various opportunities for both development and existing use.
