Description

Francon House is a unique three-bedroom period cottage located in the sought-after village of Woodhouse Eaves, offering a blend of historic charm and modern possibilities. Set on a substantial plot of approximately 0.38 acres, this property presents an outstanding opportunity for renovation and potential development. The serene surroundings include mature gardens and direct access to open paddock land, enhancing its appeal for those seeking a rural lifestyle with room for expansion or transformation. Inside, the home features a welcoming entrance hallway that leads to various reception areas filled with character, including cozy lounges and a dining room that connects effortlessly to the garden and kitchen – ideal for entertaining or family gatherings. The fitted kitchen, which includes a classic AGA, serves as the functional hub of the home alongside a separate utility room that adds convenience. Upstairs are three spacious double bedrooms with built-in storage in two, complemented by a luxurious family bathroom featuring a Whirlpool bath, perfect for relaxation. Externally, the property boasts off-road parking accessed via wrought iron gates and includes a detached workshop/store with substantial potential for conversion into an annexe or workspace (subject to planning).
