Description

This Grade II listed cottage offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with character and potential. Apple Tree Cottage has been thoughtfully extended and features a separate, self-contained three-bedroom annexe, making it an ideal candidate for modernisation. The main residence showcases traditional features alongside spacious living areas, including an extended kitchen/breakfast room highlighted by an Aga stove and picturesque French doors that open onto a well-kept garden adorned with vibrant flower beds. The cozy sitting room, complete with a wood burner and rustic beams, provides an inviting atmosphere, while the dual-aspect master bedroom boasts lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The detached annexe benefits from contemporary design elements yet remains sympathetic to the original cottage charm. Its flexible layout could function as additional family living space or generate rental income as a holiday let. Outside, the property is set within a peaceful garden framed by mature hedgerows and trees, offering privacy along with ample parking options. With its combination of characterful ambiance and substantial outdoor space in this sought-after semi-rural location, this home presents an exciting renovation project for investors or families seeking a project full of potential.
