Description

Presenting a distinctive opportunity, this listing features two adjacent cottages located in the picturesque village of Horton. Ivy Cottage and Vicarage Cottage both require renovation and modernization, providing an ideal canvas for imaginative investors or those seeking a rewarding project to infuse their personal style. Each cottage comes with its own small outbuilding and a modest garden space at the front and rear, adding a touch of outdoor charm. Additionally, there is a larger garage situated just a short distance from the properties. The potential for reconfiguration is noteworthy, as these cottages could be retained as separate units or transformed into a single expansive residence. Positioned in Horton, the properties enjoy proximity to essential amenities and are conveniently located approximately 4 miles from Leek, with further access to Congleton and Macclesfield within 7.5 miles and 13 miles, respectively. This rural setting not only offers the tranquility of village life but also ensures accessibility to local services and transport links. Ivy Cottage features a welcoming entrance leading into a dining/living room with dual aspect windows, providing ample natural light. The kitchen includes essential fixtures such as base and floor units alongside traditional elements that can be updated. Upstairs, two bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation. Vicarage Cottage mirrors similar characteristics with its own unique layout including a dedicated living area and kitchen space that prompts creative renovation opportunities. The upstairs landing leads into another spacious bedroom complete with original fireplace accents. This property presents an excellent chance for those looking to invest in real estate with significant renovation potential in a desirable location. Early viewing is encouraged to fully appreciate what these cottages have to offer both as individual homes or as an investment project within this vibrant community.
