Description

This quaint two to three-bedroom detached stone cottage, originating from around 1850, presents a prime opportunity for renovation and potential extension (subject to planning permission). Nestled in a tranquil, secluded position on the desirable Ruardean Hill, this property benefits from a private garden that offers stunning views towards May Hill. The garden includes two sheds and a workshop/store, along with an open-fronted single garage that could be replaced or expanded to create additional parking space with the appropriate permissions. The cottage features dual access into the kitchen and sitting room. The compact kitchen offers basic functionality but would benefit from modernisation, including improvements to the fittings and fixtures. The sitting room boasts a charming open fireplace and stairs leading to the first floor. A versatile study/third bedroom accommodates various uses; it also contains an electric night storage heater. The shower room includes essential amenities but may require updates for improved comfort. Upstairs, both bedrooms present functional layouts but offer scope for enhancement. The enclosed garden is ripe for landscaping changes that could elevate its appeal while utilising the existing coal stored for the fireplaces. With mains electricity, water and drainage services already connected and fibre broadband accessible, this property is equipped for modern living yet invites significant investment potential through thoughtful renovation.
