Description

This charming detached three-bedroom cottage presents a notable investment opportunity, particularly with the full planning permission granted to expand it into an impressive five-bedroom family residence. Situated on a tranquil no-through lane, the property benefits from awe-inspiring views over Bewl Reservoir and spans approximately 1,035 sq. ft of internal space. The classic period features, combined with the potential for significant enlargement, offer a compelling canvas for those looking to enhance their living environment. Inside, the cottage is laid out over two levels. The ground floor comprises a cozy living room equipped with an inglenook fireplace and exposed beams, leading to a functional kitchen that opens out to the rear garden. A well-sized dining room complements this area, alongside essential amenities including a cloakroom and shower room. Ascending to the first floor reveals two spacious double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all arranged around a central landing sharing access to a family bathroom. Externally, this property enjoys generous grounds of approximately one acre featuring both front and rear gardens, alongside ample parking provided via a shared private drive. The elevated location enhances its appeal as it offers expansive views across open farmland. Notably, the existing sewage system requires updating to meet current compliance standards. This presents not only renovation prospects but also potential savings in future utility expenses. With its idyllic setting and significant development potential, this cottage is ideal for buyers looking to invest in a project that could yield substantial returns in both value and comfort.
