Description

Nestled in an elevated hillside position, 15 Corfton Bache presents a unique opportunity to embrace a tranquil rural lifestyle. Set within approximately one acre of mature gardens and a productive orchard, this charming detached cottage is ideal for nature enthusiasts and gardening aficionados alike. The property boasts breathtaking views from its patio and gardens, where you can often spot red kites soaring above. The orchard features a variety of fruit trees, including apple, plum, greengage, and walnut, while the surrounding land offers potential for grazing small animals or creating vibrant wildflower meadows. The accommodation is both inviting and full of character. A spacious entrance hall leads to the principal bedroom, which includes an en-suite shower room. A recently renovated family bathroom provides a modern retreat with contemporary fittings. The heart of the home is the kitchen breakfast room, which connects to a practical utility lean-to, perfect for muddy boots and gardening tools. The formal dining room enjoys lovely views towards the conservatory, which in turn overlooks the gardens and countryside. The cosy sitting room features a charming fireplace with a gas-fired stove, creating a warm atmosphere during cooler months. Patio doors open onto a terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. A space-saving staircase leads to the impressive second bedroom, a spacious vaulted room that could serve as guest accommodation or a peaceful home office. Outside, the property offers ample parking and a substantial timber workshop/garden store. With its existing charm, the cottage also presents exciting potential for further enhancement or extension, subject to necessary planning permissions. This truly special home offers tranquillity, nature, and privacy in a picturesque setting, making early viewing highly recommended.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

15 Corfton Bache is a charming detached cottage set amidst approximately one acre of mature gardens and a productive orchard, offering a peaceful rural lifestyle with stunning countryside views. The property is well-maintained, featuring a cosy sitting room with character, a spacious principal bedroom with an en-suite, and a recently renovated family bathroom. The modern kitchen fittings and the inviting atmosphere make it a lovely home, while the substantial outdoor space provides ample opportunities for gardening, relaxation, or even grazing small animals.

While the absence of a specified floor area prevents a direct comparison to local £/sqf metrics, the asking price of £450,000 is positioned within a reasonable range given the extensive grounds and overall condition. This medium-scale renovation project, with an estimated cost between £30,000 and £70,000, presents an opportunity for further enhancement, particularly for those looking to expand or develop the property, pending planning permissions. The outdoor space alone is a significant draw, complemented by the potential to create a beautiful wildlife habitat or wildflower meadows.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious gardens and orchard with potential for grazing or wildlife habitats
  • Characterful interiors ready for enhancement
  • Possibility for extensions subject to planning permission

Key risks

  • Medium-scale renovation project requiring budget management
  • Potential damp issues not observed but could arise in older properties
