Description

This freehold stone cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors. Nestled within a spacious 0.5-acre plot beside the tranquil River Chew, this derelict two-bedroom property awaits a visionary to restore it to its former glory. Accessed via a charming footpath from the High Street or through an enchanting stone bridge from Dumpers Lane, the setting is truly picturesque, enhancing its appeal as a potential home or getaway. Although the internal condition is uncertain due to years of disuse, initial reports suggest it comprises a reception room and kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a cloakroom above. The property has mains water and electricity, but the drainage relies on a private cess pit. Included in the sale are several building materials already on-site, which could aid in renovations. Notably, there was planning permission granted in 1976 for extensions and alterations; prospective buyers should confirm current permissions and any potential for permitted development rights. With the combination of its location in Chew Magna—known for its community amenities and proximity to Bristol—and significant refurbishment potential, this cottage represents an exciting project for those looking to invest in a desirable south-west village.
