Description

Nestled within the scenic Bowcombe Valley, this property presents a distinctive opportunity to acquire two semi-detached cottages, complete with gardens, various outbuildings, and generous yard space across an expansive total of approximately 0.76 acres (0.31ha). The cottages, believed to date back to the 1930s, exude character while offering significant renovation potential. 3 Idlecombe Cottage is a charming residence that requires modernisation and features a cozy sitting room with a classic fireplace. Its light-filled kitchen provides ample storage solutions, making it ideal for reconfiguration. The first floor boasts a sizable master bedroom equipped with built-in storage and a spacious family bathroom. Additionally, there is a versatile attic room on the second floor that can serve multiple purposes. 4 Idlecombe Cottage has recently undergone renovations and features a contemporary kitchen/dining area with a breakfast bar and an efficient downstairs WC. This cottage also includes two bedrooms and an updated family bathroom with shower over bath facilities. Like its counterpart, it has an attic room that offers picturesque views of the surrounding gardens. The external areas are equally appealing with well-maintained gardens brimming with mature plant life and fruit trees. A detached block of three garages with driveway access offers further potential for personal or investment use. Outbuildings include a practical brick-built storage shed previously used as dog kennels, presenting possibilities for alternative uses (subject to planning permission). This estate holds immense investment potential given its unique offerings and scope for enhancement.
