Description

This historic three-bedroom cottage, established in 1788, presents a unique opportunity for those interested in investing in a property with considerable potential. Set on approximately one acre of land, including gardens and paddocks, the estate also includes grazing rights to over 1000 acres of scenic moorland. Ideal for anyone seeking a smallholding or wishing to immerse themselves in serene rural life while being conveniently close to local amenities. Nestled near the village of Whitworth, this residence boasts remarkable panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and easy access to various outdoor activities, including walking trails and a nearby golf course. Inside, the property showcases charming period features alongside modern updates, such as a recently installed kitchen equipped with NEFF appliances (still under warranty) and an elegant family bathroom. The accommodation consists of three generous double bedrooms, offering ample built-in storage options and inviting natural light into spacious living areas. The living room features a multi-fuel stove and allows access to a sizeable cellar. The extensive outdoor space is where this property shines; previously divided into three paddocks with a tranquil pond and courtyard sun trap, it holds great potential for equestrian use or further landscaping projects. Existing stable footings offer an exciting chance for development upon obtaining necessary permissions. Additionally, a double garage and three outbuildings provide abundant storage solutions along with opportunities for conversion or expansion. Situated within the catchment area for excellent schools, this characterful home not only offers peaceful living but also represents an exceptional investment opportunity rarely found on today's market.
