Description

The Engine House is a detached stone property located near the scenic Offa's Dyke National Trail, offering a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Originally a bunkhouse designed for backpackers and hikers, it has been transformed into a residential home, yet still presents ample potential for further enhancement. The layout includes an entrance hall leading to a spacious open-plan living/dining area with high ceilings and charming character features such as exposed beams and stonework. A separate kitchen offers existing modern amenities but could benefit from reconfiguration to create a more integrated communal space. This two-bedroom dwelling includes two bathrooms and additional utility space, allowing flexibility for family living or rental options. Notably, Bedroom Two is particularly large, offering the possibility of converting it into two separate rooms with necessary planning consent. Surrounding the property are well-established gardens with ample parking space and a paddock extending approximately 1.25 acres, providing potential for outdoor development or leisure projects. Given its location and size, this home offers significant scope for improvements that could enhance both living enjoyment and investment value.
