Description

Nestled in the picturesque Welland Valley village of Slawston, this substantial Grade II listed cottage, Matthews Cottage, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Dating back several centuries, the property showcases a wealth of period features such as exposed beams, stone walls, and traditional fireplaces. The spacious layout spans nearly 3,900 sq. ft., providing ample room for modern family living while retaining its historic charm. The property includes versatile reception areas like a grand sitting room with an impressive fireplace and a farmhouse-style kitchen equipped with an Aga. The generous first floor boasts four large double bedrooms with scenic garden views, making it ideal for families or as home office spaces. Although the interiors are rich in character, they could benefit from updates to meet contemporary standards.
