Description

This detached three-bedroom cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and expansion, situated in an elevated position on a quiet lane with picturesque views over Bewl Reservoir. With full planning permission granted to transform the property into a spacious five-bedroom family home, the potential for investment is significant. The current layout includes 1,035 sq. ft of living space divided across two floors: the ground floor features a welcoming kitchen, a cozy sitting room with an ingle nook fireplace, a cloakroom, a shower room, and a dining area. Upstairs, the property boasts three bedrooms along with a family bathroom off a central landing. The exterior offers extensive grounds extending to approximately one acre, complemented by front and rear gardens and ample parking space via a shared private drive. While the cottage showcases character elements typical of its period, it requires updates particularly in its sewerage system which is currently non-compliant. This property is ideal for someone looking to invest in further development while enjoying stunning natural surroundings.
