Description

This semi-detached cottage offers a significant opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with ample potential for renovation and extension (subject to planning permissions). Located in a desirable semi-rural area, the home is just 2.5 miles from Ongar, providing both seclusion and convenience. Currently requiring comprehensive refurbishment throughout, it features three bedrooms on the upper floor with lovely countryside views, while the ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a shower room, a dining room with a charming fireplace, and a kitchen that awaits modernisation. Additionally, the property sits on a generous plot of approximately 0.27 acres (STLS), allowing for creativity in landscaping or future expansion. There are also two brick-built outbuildings and one timber storage shed that would benefit from attention. The property is serviced by mains electricity and gas but is not connected to main drainage.
