Description

This detached cottage presents a compelling opportunity for cash buyers seeking a renovation project in the desirable village of Washbrook. Set on an approximate quarter-acre plot, the property has substantial potential to be transformed into a modern family home. Upon entering, you are welcomed by an entrance hall featuring stairs to the first floor and an under-stair cupboard. The sitting room at the front boasts an open fireplace with a traditional brick surround, providing a cozy focal point. Adjacent to this is the dining room, which benefits from dual aspect windows that allow natural light to fill the space. The kitchen, located at the rear, includes essential base and wall units along with worktops and drawers, while a pantry cupboard offers additional storage. A utility room connects to the kitchen and opens onto the garden, presenting an ideal layout for practical living. On the first floor, a landing leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The larger front bedrooms provide significant space, while a walk-in box room has previously served as a study. The third bedroom is positioned at the rear. The bathroom features built-in storage along with standard amenities such as a bath, basin, and WC. Externally, the property is framed by gardens—at the front predominantly laid to lawn, and at the rear a sloped garden also mainly covered in grass that extends behind neighbouring properties. This cottage is ripe for transformation with modern updates and creative design choices that can truly reflect your personal taste.
