Description

Nestled in the picturesque village of Charlton Horethorne, this detached 19th-century thatched cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. Golden Valley Farm Cottage boasts three charming bedrooms, stunning countryside views, and rich historical character with features such as exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. While the cottage offers a quaint rural lifestyle, it also has potential for expansion or modernization (subject to planning permission). Inside, the layout includes a cozy sitting room with an inviting fireplace, a dual-aspect dining area with countryside views, and a practical kitchen that could benefit from contemporary upgrades. The utility room and cloakroom add convenience but might require some attention. Upstairs, the bedrooms provide ample natural light but could be transformed into stylish retreats with renovations. The family bathroom is functional yet offers scope for modern fixtures. Outside, the generous gardens are beautifully landscaped but may need some re-imagining to maximize their potential as outdoor entertaining spaces. This property is within walking distance to local amenities and enjoys excellent transport links, making it an appealing investment in a sought-after location.
