Description

This appealing detached period cottage, known affectionately as 'Blossom Cottage', offers a unique opportunity for renovation and development in a sought-after village location. Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.14 acres, this natural stone home features an inviting garden and ample off-road parking with a private gated driveway suitable for several vehicles, plus a detached garage. The property boasts a sunny southerly aspect that floods the interior with natural light, providing a welcoming atmosphere. Notably, it is free from Grade II listing restrictions, making it an ideal candidate for potential extensions or reconfigurations to enhance living space (subject to planning). The current layout includes five flexible rooms on the ground floor alongside four bedrooms on the first floor, all showcasing charming character features such as exposed beams and original fireplaces. While some modernization has taken place—such as the installation of uPVC double glazing and a well-equipped kitchen—a thoughtful refurbishment could further elevate the home's appeal. The surrounding area provides excellent amenities including shops, schools, and restaurants, with picturesque countryside walks just steps away. This property presents both immediate cozy living options and long-term investment potential through strategic refurbishment or expansion.
