Description

This off-grid property, nestled on just under half an acre, presents a unique opportunity for cash buyers looking to embrace a sustainable lifestyle while also offering significant potential for renovation and development. Featuring two generously sized bedrooms—one currently adapted as a pantry—the home includes a living/kitchen area, bathroom, and separate compost toilet. Additional structures include a greenhouse and workshop, contributing to its self-sufficient charm. The property is ideally located near expansive forests and within walking distance of local amenities such as shops and pubs, making it an appealing choice for those wishing to connect with nature without sacrificing convenience. With non-standard construction and features such as rainwater harvesting equipped with a five-stage filtration system, solar electricity generation (offering both 240v and 12v outputs), an open fire, and a Rayburn stove for heating and hot water, the property is equipped for eco-friendly living. Notably, there is scope for expansion as the property comes with lapsed planning permission for a larger residential structure and stable block (Planning application number 136535). This allows the savvy investor or renovator the chance to enhance the property further. The external area boasts mature trees, wood sheds, a small pond, a hand-built wooden cabin, and ample parking space with gated access from a private road. With its blend of rustic charm and development potential, this property represents an excellent investment opportunity.
