Description

This charming three-bedroom detached forest cottage, steeped in character and family history, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and modernisation.

The home boasts breathtaking views over the scenic countryside and Harrow Hill, along with practical features such as off-road parking and a fenced garden with various storage options.<br><br>The entrance leads through a quaint wrought iron gate onto a paved pathway that guides you to the bright sunroom/conservatory, offering panoramic vistas of the valley. Inside, you'll find a cozy lounge with original features like a multi-fuel stove and alcoves, alongside an adjacent dining room equipped with a solid fuel fireplace. The functional kitchen retains ample space for modern appliances but could benefit from updating to enhance its usability.<br><br>The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, each featuring lovely views and potential for reconfiguration or en-suite additions. A small ensuite area exists off one of the bedrooms that could be optimised further.<br><br>Outside, the gardens need some attention but offer great scope to create inviting outdoor spaces with vegetable beds, seating areas, and beautiful planted borders. Renovating this property not only allows you to preserve its historical charm but also enhances its value within this idyllic setting.
