Description

The Engine House is a distinctive detached stone property situated within a picturesque setting, just a short distance from the Offa's Dyke National Trail, marking the boundary between England and Wales. Originally designed as a bunkhouse for hikers, this residence has been reconfigured into a home but still presents significant opportunities for enhancement and modernization. The layout currently includes an entrance hall that leads into a spacious open-plan living and dining area, complemented by two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outside, the property boasts ample parking space, garden areas, and an additional paddock that extends across approximately 1.59 acres (0.64 hectares). Key features include high ceilings with original character in the living room, potential for creating an open-plan kitchen area to maximize space and light, generously sized bedrooms with possibilities for further subdivision (subject to planning permissions), and utility areas ripe for refurbishment. Notably, while recent roof works may not comply with planning regulations, rectifying these issues could unlock further value. This is an ideal investment opportunity for those looking to put their own stamp on a unique property in a serene location.
