Bell Hill, Finedon

This Grade II Listed detached ironstone cottage, dating back to the mid-18th century, presents a unique investment opportunity set within 2.27 acres of picturesque gardens and grounds. While the property has seen significant enhancements such as a new roof, rewiring, and replumbing, it retains many original features including stone mullioned windows, exposed beams, and handmade oak doors. The interior showcases a bespoke Shaker-style kitchen diner with an electric Aga, complemented by an elegant sitting room and an additional reception area that allows for flexible living arrangements. Upstairs comprises three spacious double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite facilities, alongside a family bathroom. One of the standout features is the detached garden room designed for entertaining amidst scenic views, complete with a vaulted timber ceiling and open fireplace. Additionally, the substantial barn-style building includes a triple garage and home office space along with a self-contained one-bedroom apartment above. This presents excellent potential for guest accommodation or even rental income, pending any necessary approvals. The property benefits from extensive parking via a gated driveway and beautifully landscaped gardens that include mature plantings and terraces leading to serene countryside views. Previous planning permission for an extension has lapsed but could be re-evaluated for those looking to further enhance this property. A rare opportunity awaits to acquire a historic country residence that seamlessly combines charm with investment potential.
