Description

This four-bedroom semi-detached cottage, steeped in character and charm, is situated in the desirable setting of Essendon Village. Originally constructed in the 1820s and extended in the 1980s, this property offers ample living space at approximately 1,141 sq ft. The current configuration features two reception rooms, one adorned with an open fireplace, complemented by original period details that showcase its historical significance. The property is primed for modernization and comes with planning permission for a single-storey rear extension that would expand the living area to roughly 1,300 sq ft, alongside potential for further development with a dormer extension (subject to consent). The attractive 70 ft garden provides a serene outlook and directly borders woodland, ensuring privacy and a tranquil environment. Additionally, off-street parking for two vehicles enhances its appeal as an investment opportunity.
