Description

This detached cottage, dating back to the 19th century, offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a charming period property in the desirable village of Charlton Horethorne. Known as Golden Valley Farm Cottage, this three-bedroom home is nestled along a tranquil country lane, providing panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The character of the cottage is evident with its thatched roof, inglenook fireplace, and exposed beams throughout. The picturesque gardens also add to its charm and potential. The layout presents various possibilities for enhancement or expansion (subject to relevant planning permissions), making it ideal for buyers with renovation aspirations. The ground floor comprises an inviting hallway leading to a cozy sitting room featuring a traditional fireplace and shelving nook, and a well-lit dining area offering lovely rural views. The kitchen is equipped but could benefit from modernization to fully realize its potential. Upstairs, the principal bedroom boasts dual-aspect views that could be further enhanced with careful redesign. Additional bedrooms offer flexible use as sleeping quarters or work-from-home spaces. The family bathroom has modern features but might also be updated for greater comfort. Externally, the south-facing front garden provides ample parking space while the expansive side garden presents opportunities for landscaping and outdoor living enhancements. Situated in an attractive community close to local amenities, including shops and schools, this property combines rural serenity with practical conveniences.
