Description

This charming detached cottage features three bedrooms and is set on a generous plot of over 0.15 acres, offering picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. While the property boasts a wealth of character, including exposed beams throughout, it is in need of some modernisation to unlock its full potential. Entering through the porch, you are greeted by a kitchen/dining room that includes a tiled fireplace and a butler sink unit, complemented by windows at both the front and rear. The layout leads to a rear lobby and an inner hall, which provides access to a cozy sitting room adorned with beams and windows that invite natural light. The rear lobby also features a staircase leading to the first floor and a bathroom equipped with a wood panel bath, pedestal wash handbasin, and a low flush WC. The ground floor also includes a reception room accessible from the driveway, featuring a brick fireplace and windows that overlook the front and side gardens. A spiral staircase connects this room to Bedroom 1. The first floor offers a spacious landing area with potential for conversion into a fourth bedroom or family bathroom, along with two additional bedrooms, each with built-in cupboards and lovely views. Externally, the property benefits from ample parking space leading to a garage, with a main garden area that includes adjoining outbuildings at the far boundary. Given the generous living space and the attractive plot, this property presents an appealing opportunity for a wide range of buyers. Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate its potential.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached 3-bedroom cottage presents a compelling opportunity for renovation, particularly with its attractive asking price of £270,000, which is significantly below the local average at £221/sqf. The property boasts character features such as exposed beams and a generous plot size of over 0.15 acres, offering wonderful views over the countryside. While the interior shows signs of wear and dated decor across the living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom, these elements provide a canvas for new owners to modernise and create their dream home. The overall condition suggests a medium-scale refurbishment is required, estimated between £40,000 and £120,000, but the potential to enhance the living space and value is certainly present.

The property’s exterior, while charming, also requires upkeep, which can be addressed alongside the interior works. The layout offers flexibility, with potential for creating additional bedrooms or a family bathroom on the first floor. It’s important to note that while there may be some potential structural concerns, the low guide price compared to local averages makes this an appealing project for those looking to invest in a property with great potential. With a bit of vision and effort, this cottage could become a fantastic family home or a profitable venture.
