Description

This property presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a charming detached cottage paired with a self-contained stone-built annexe, located within a picturesque conservation village. With a total of five bedrooms, the property is well-suited for families or as a rental investment, but it does require significant modernization, making it ideal for those interested in renovation projects. The main house features an entrance hall leading to an expansive sitting room that incorporates a dining area, providing ample space for both relaxation and entertaining. The kitchen/diner includes traditional elements alongside modern potential, highlighted by a solid-fuel Rayburn range and original cast-iron bread oven that could become stunning focal points after refurbishment. Additionally, the conservatory offers views of the private courtyard garden, further enhancing the property's appeal. Upstairs, three double bedrooms provide versatile options for family living or guest accommodation. The layout allows for creative redesign possibilities to suit modern lifestyles. The annexe adds further value to this property; it comprises two additional double bedrooms and its own kitchen/diner, which could easily function as independent living quarters or guest accommodation. This separate space highlights the investment potential—whether as a rental unit or guest suite. Outside, the property boasts a pleasant courtyard garden accessible from both the main house and annexe, along with an attached single garage offering further utility and storage options. Situated in a village steeped in history and community spirit, residents enjoy access to local amenities including shops featuring fresh produce and restaurants—all within walking distance. The surrounding countryside provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling, while nearby towns offer additional shopping and social amenities. With its blend of charming character, functional layout, and investment potential through renovation or renting out the annexe, this property is undoubtedly one to explore for those seeking both personal enjoyment and financial opportunity in a sought-after location.
