Description

This characterful home, originally two cottages, presents an intriguing opportunity for investment with its combination of charm and potential. Meticulously maintained by the current owner since 1991, the property showcases a range of period features while offering ample scope for modernization or reconfiguration to suit contemporary living needs. Tucked away in a tranquil location, it comprises an expansive dining room with exposed brickwork leading into a bespoke kitchen equipped with essential modern appliances including a range cooker and built-in microwave. The spacious living room boasts a feature wall and wood-burning stove – perfect for family gatherings, yet waiting for fresh design ideas. The ground floor also includes a utility room, separate WC, and versatile spaces such as a playroom/study that can be tailored to your lifestyle. Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms provide an inviting layout for families or guests, complemented by en-suite facilities in the main suite and second bedroom. Externally, two substantial outbuildings present excellent conversion potential; one serves as a gym while the garage offers possibilities for annexing to accommodate multi-generational living (subject to necessary permissions). With off-road parking available and a peaceful garden setting, this property is ripe for new owners who appreciate both character and opportunity.
