Description

This charming Grade II listed cottage, constructed of durable greenstone with a traditional thatched roof, presents a unique opportunity for renovation. The property boasts a spacious sitting room featuring a tiled floor and exposed beams, complete with an Inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove (currently disconnected). Adjacent to this is a study that includes a shower room, adding versatility to the living space. The dining room mirrors the sitting room's bay window design and has potential for modernization around its disused fireplace. The kitchen, with access to the garden, could benefit from updating while retaining its galley layout. On the first floor, two well-proportioned bedrooms incorporate built-in wardrobes and original alcoves; the family bathroom conveniently sits between them. Outside, the expansive garden stretches approximately 165ft and is filled with established plants, providing an inviting outdoor space ripe for further development. There's also lapsed planning permission from 1989 for a double garage at the garden's end, offering potential expansion or alternative use. Additionally, an outbuilding known as 'The Piggery' has been previously utilized as accommodation and comes with electricity access—ideal for conversion opportunities pending consent. Set in the picturesque village of Fontmell Magna with strong community ties and good local amenities, this property stands as an attractive proposition for investors looking to breathe new life into a historic residence while enjoying the benefits of rural living.
