Description

This charming two-bedroom cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, coming to the market for the first time in fifty years. Situated on approximately 0.23 acres, the property features a sizable rear garden that adjoins paddock land, offering potential for expansion or landscaping enhancements. Accessed via double wrought iron gates from Manchester Road, the property is framed by low wooden picket fencing and boasts ample off-road parking. The front garden is primarily laid to lawn, with a central pathway leading to the entrance. A covered porch leads into the hallway, where you'll find convenient storage and access to essential utilities. Inside, the cottage retains its character with a sitting room featuring built-in cabinetry and a cozy fireplace that adds warmth to the space. The dining room also highlights a fireplace and offers views out to the front garden. At the rear, the kitchen provides direct access to a private courtyard garden and includes essential appliances like an electric oven and hob alongside freestanding refrigeration options. Venturing upstairs reveals two spacious double bedrooms, each adorned with feature fireplaces and windows bringing in natural light. The main bathroom is well-sized with sufficient storage options including an airing cupboard and gas boiler nook. The outdoor space truly stands out; beginning with a paved courtyard area that leads to a substantial lawn extending over 200 feet. This expansive garden has great potential for redevelopment or enhancement, complemented by existing structures such as a storage shed and greenhouse. Nestled within walking distance of village amenities and just minutes from open forest trails, this property is ideally positioned for those seeking an investment opportunity with considerable potential for improvement.
