Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached cottage presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment in a sought-after village location. The property is surrounded by a spacious garden that wraps around the side and rear, offering ample outdoor space that could be enhanced further with landscaping or additional structures. Notably, there is a substantial garage/workshop on the premises, providing potential for various uses—whether as storage, a workspace, or converted into additional living space. The interior features an entrance porch that leads into a cozy living room equipped with an open fire, adding warmth and character to the home. A door connects this space to the kitchen and breakfast room, which offers convenience and practicality for everyday living. A rear hallway takes you to a courtyard area alongside a WC and bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms that provide comfortable sleeping quarters but are in need of modernization. This allows new owners to tailor the spaces to their taste and needs, potentially enhancing property value significantly with updates. Given its location within a popular village setting and the potential for expansion subject to planning permission, this property serves as an ideal canvas for those looking to invest in real estate while putting their personal touch on their home. With utilities connected including mains electricity, water, and drainage, this cottage provides both functionality and significant renovation potential.
