Description

This four-bedroom link-detached cottage, situated along the A140, offers a prime opportunity for renovation and investment. Old Forge Cottage presents original features across three spacious floors, including a kitchen, lounge with French doors that open to the garden, a bathroom, and four generously-sized double bedrooms. The property benefits from scenic views of surrounding fields and boasts substantial land on the side, which could allow for development potential (subject to planning permission). Previously occupied by long-term tenants, this home could also serve as a reliable source of rental income or be transformed into a comfortable residence for an owner-occupier. With off-road parking available and its advantageous location, this property holds significant promise for those looking to invest or renovate.
