Description

Nestled on a generous 0.6-acre plot, this charming 19th-century cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. With three bedrooms, the property offers the potential for significant enhancement or redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning approvals. In 2022, planning permission was granted for a two-storey rear extension, which could transform this cottage into an impressive five-bedroom family home. This approved plan is available for review on the Barnsley MBC Planning Portal, providing insights into its potential. The cottage is situated within easy reach of Cawthorne's local attractions, including the well-known Cannon Hall Farm and country park, as well as convenient access to the M1 motorway, enhancing its appeal for families and investors alike. Inside, the ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious lounge with dual-aspect windows and a distinctive stone fireplace. The dining room also boasts ample natural light and character details like wooden panelling. A functional kitchen includes basic amenities and offers space for modern updates. Additionally, there’s a handy downstairs shower room. Upstairs comprises three bedrooms along with a bathroom featuring essential fittings. A small study area adds further flexibility to the living space. The outdoor area includes a walled lawned garden at the front and a larger garden at the rear filled with established shrubs and trees. The extensive driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles while hinting at potential development opportunities. With its blend of historical charm and modern possibilities in an attractive location, this property stands out as an excellent prospect for those looking to invest in real estate or create their dream home through renovation.
