Description

This charming stone-built detached cottage is situated in a tranquil location at the edge of town, offering immense potential for renovation and investment. With one spacious bedroom on the ground floor featuring a modern en-suite shower room and an additional storeroom, the layout allows for flexible living arrangements. The first floor boasts an open-plan configuration that incorporates living and dining spaces, along with a well-equipped kitchen. Large windows on three sides flood the area with natural light and provide delightful views of the surrounding countryside. While the property has been updated with some modern fittings, there remains an opportunity to enhance its appeal further through cosmetic improvements such as decorating and landscaping to maximize curb appeal. The external areas include a cobbled front space and a grassy side area, both offering possibilities for outdoor enhancement. This cottage combines character with investment potential in a picturesque setting in Alston, known as England's highest market town.
