Thirlmere comprises a dilapidated bungalow 
sitting within approximately 4 acres of land.
The owners have advised that there are some 
outbuildings on the land, but these have not 
been identified or measured, due to the 
vegetation on the land.
The bungalow itself is situated at the front of the 
land set back from the road, with a wide 
frontage. Subject to planning, this could provide 
an opportunity for redevelopment. 
The combined property and the land are
