Description

The Saddler’s and The Cottage offer a unique investment opportunity to acquire two character cottages set within a generous 0.60-acre plot in the heart of Grittleton, a village known for its strong community spirit and welcoming amenities. Originally constructed as four cottages in the early 19th century, these Grade II listed properties showcase stunning architectural features, including ornate barge boarded gables and exposed timber beams. Both properties require significant refurbishment, with The Cottage needing extensive work as it has been unoccupied since the 1980s. The potential exists to convert the entire site into a single substantial dwelling, subject to planning permission, or to maintain them as separate residences, utilizing The Cottage as an annexe. The Saddler’s, formerly known as Rose Cottage, boasts over 2,300 sq.ft. of living space across two floors, complemented by a large beamed attic that could be converted for additional accommodation. The ground floor features three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, and an office. Upstairs, there are four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with an occasional fifth bedroom or study. Adjoining The Saddler’s is The Cottage, which has its own title deed and garden but is currently in a derelict state requiring full restoration. The overall plot offers a beautiful backdrop with fields to the rear and includes private parking accessed via a side driveway leading to a double garage. The expansive gardens extend approximately 200ft to the rear, wrapping around the adjoining cottage, providing ample outdoor space for various uses.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The Saddler’s and The Cottage offer a unique chance to acquire a pair of characterful Grade II listed properties nestled in a generous 0.60-acre plot in Grittleton. With an asking price of £900,000, which equates to just £275/sqf, this listing is significantly below the local average of £373/sqf, presenting a strong opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a renovation project.

While the properties require extensive refurbishment, including dated interiors and visible wear in the kitchen, there’s immense potential to transform them into a substantial single dwelling or retain them as separate units. The space and layout allow for creative redesigns, particularly with the large gardens and historical features that could enhance the overall appeal. The project does come with a substantial renovation budget estimated between £150,000 and £300,000, indicating that this is a full-gut renovation rather than a simple refresh. However, for those willing to undertake the challenge, the character and development potential make this an exciting opportunity.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the characterful cottages into a single substantial dwelling or retain them as separate properties for flexible living arrangements.
  • Utilize the extensive garden space for landscaping or potential extensions, enhancing the overall value and appeal of the properties.
  • Leverage the historical significance and ornate features of the Grade II listing to create a unique and attractive home.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £150,000–£300,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Visible wear and damage in the kitchen may indicate deeper structural issues requiring attention.
  • The current derelict state of The Cottage presents challenges that could affect the timeline and overall renovation costs.
