This Grade II listed detached cottage, nestled on a tranquil lane in the sought-after village of Barley, presents significant renovation and investment opportunities. Set on a generous fifth of an acre, the property comes with approved planning for a single-storey extension that will allow for the addition of an orangery, enhancing the kitchen area and bringing in more natural light. The layout currently features three reception rooms, including a snug with vaulted ceilings and an inglenook fireplace, offering plenty of versatile living space. The kitchen benefits from granite worktops and has ample potential to be reconfigured or updated further. Upstairs, you’ll find three well-sized bedrooms alongside a family bathroom that could be redesigned if desired with the granted planning permissions to remove existing beams for a more open feel.
The expansive south-facing garden is fully enclosed and provides a serene spot for outdoor activities or gatherings, while also allowing future owners ample opportunity to shape it according to their preferences. Additionally, there’s planning permission in place for converting the garage into a home office with an added shower room.
With Barley’s amenities — including local pubs, shops, and excellent transport links — this property not only boasts charm but also represents a compelling investment proposition for those looking to blend modern living with historic character.
