Description

This charming two-bedroom cottage presents a notable opportunity for refurbishment and expansion. Currently featuring a ground floor layout that could be adapted to provide additional living space, the property showcases appealing color-washed elevations beneath a tiled roof. While it benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, both systems require complete modernization to meet contemporary standards. The extensive grounds, nearly a quarter of an acre, offer significant potential for development, including the possibility of constructing smaller cottages pending council approval. Located in a picturesque rural setting with stunning views of the surrounding farmland, this property is conveniently positioned near major transport links. Previously operated as a successful family boarding business with a long-standing reputation, it holds licenses for boarding dogs and cats and could see growth through the re-introduction of services such as grooming and leasing additional land for equestrian purposes. This project presents an excellent investment in a desirable area.
