This property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a period farmhouse alongside an attached two-bedroom cottage, set on approximately 1.69 acres of rural land. While the main residence and cottage have seen some initial renovations, they are now poised for further modernization, making this an attractive project for those seeking to enhance their investment.
The farmhouse is a substantial structure that offers over three levels of spacious living areas, while the cottage provides additional versatile space across two floors. With separate entrances and gardens, both residences are well-suited to accommodate multi-generational living or could serve as potential holiday rentals, pending necessary planning permissions.
Nestled at the end of a lengthy driveway and surrounded by expansive farmland, this property captures the tranquil essence of rural life with sweeping views. Additionally, there is a sizeable steel-framed barn spanning 2,371 sq. ft., previously utilized for storage and garaging, which offers significant potential for various uses—again, dependent on planning approval.
