Description

This charming detached cottage, steeped in 17th-century character, presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. Spanning approximately 1400 sqft, the property is set in the tranquil village of Wortham, surrounded by picturesque fields. As you enter, you'll find a welcoming porch with period features including pamment tiles and a solid oak stained glass door. The spacious sitting room is bright and airy, boasting exposed timber beams and a curved brick fireplace with a multi-fuel burner, making it an ideal central gathering space. The ground floor also includes a flexible study/snug area, utility room, and family bathroom equipped with both a roll-top bath and separate shower. The kitchen/dining area features country-style cabinetry and ample light from its triple aspect windows. The first floor hosts three double bedrooms, two of which come with en-suite facilities. There are two staircases providing access to this level, adding to the layout options for future enhancement or reconfiguration. Situated on a generous plot, the grounds offer extensive garden space that can be tailored to personal tastes or used for further development (subject to planning). An outbuilding with potential for conversion stands adjacent to the double garage/workshop that provides useful storage options. While currently livable, there are numerous opportunities to modernize and enhance this delightful property—be it updating interiors or landscaping the expansive gardens. With its unique charm and substantial potential for investment or personal customization, this cottage deserves your creative touch.
