Description

This semi-detached stone cottage, encompassing 1385 sq ft, offers a promising opportunity for renovation in the picturesque village of Lea. Located on a quiet no-through road, the property boasts stunning countryside views and beautifully landscaped gardens designed for outdoor enjoyment. Inside, original features such as exposed beams, stone walls, and classic fireplaces enhance the cottage's character, though some areas may benefit from modernization to fully realize its potential. The sitting room is inviting with its traditional stone fireplace, while a snug dining area with a wood-burning stove provides a cozy atmosphere. The kitchen/breakfast space includes quality appliances but could be updated to suit contemporary needs. Upstairs, three spacious double bedrooms retain charming details like beams and countryside views but may require some enhancements. The family bathroom is equipped with a roll-top bath that adds luxury yet can be refreshed for greater appeal. This unique home represents an excellent investment opportunity for those looking to embrace village life while putting their personal touch on a characterful property.
