Description

This off-grid property, set on nearly half an acre, presents a unique opportunity for cash buyers seeking to embrace a nature-oriented lifestyle. The home features two bedrooms, with one currently repurposed as a pantry, alongside a combined living and kitchen area, a bathroom, and a separate compost toilet. Notably, there's potential for expansion as planning permission for a larger residence and stable block has lapsed (Planning application number 136535). The property benefits from alternative energy sources with solar electricity systems and rainwater harvesting complemented by a five-stage filtration system. Heating is provided via an open fire alongside a Rayburn solid fuel stove that offers both heating and hot water. The outside space is adorned with mature trees, multiple wood sheds, and even includes a small pond and handcrafted wooden cabin—perfect for those who appreciate outdoor living. Access is secured via a private road with ample parking capacity. Located just steps away from expansive forests and within walking distance to local village amenities such as shops and pubs, this property is ideal for those looking to invest in sustainable living while having development opportunities at hand.
