Description

This Victorian semi-detached cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property on the market for the first time in a century, nestled within approximately 1.5 acres of serene grounds that were once part of the historic Swyncombe Estate. Accessed via a lengthy driveway, the home is well-set back from the road, enhancing its privacy and offering exceptional countryside views. While the cottage boasts a wealth of original features, it is in need of extensive modernization, providing significant potential for transformation into a unique and desirable country residence. The spacious accommodation includes multiple rooms filled with period charm, such as an entrance hall leading to a garden room, a dining room with built-in cupboards, and an inviting sitting room with a brick fireplace and beamed ceilings. The kitchen/breakfast room benefits from triple aspects and direct garden access. Outside, the expansive gardens are interspersed with mature trees and shrubs, alongside a paddock area with outbuildings that require attention but hold additional potential. This property is perfect for investors or buyers looking to create their dream home in an idyllic setting.
