Description

Manor Cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, located conveniently close to the coast with picturesque countryside views. This charming stone-built residence, once part of a farmstead and adjacent to the Manor House, boasts potential that can be unlocked with thoughtful updates. The property features a blend of traditional architecture, including a tiled and partly thatched roof, while having undergone an earlier conversion of an attached barn into a spacious drawing room in 1999. Inside, the layout includes a welcoming entrance hall with storage, a generous kitchen/dining area equipped with essential appliances and ample space for dining furniture. A half landing leads to a cloakroom and the impressive drawing room characterized by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and French doors opening onto the garden. Additional spaces include a utility/wet room on the ground floor and a separate sitting room with an open fire. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms including one with en-suite facilities and another accessible via a 'Priest hole'. This home is complemented by practical features such as gas central heating and ample parking thanks to its detached carport. The outdoor areas include gravelled driveways, private gardens adorned with mature shrubs, and direct access to an adjoining paddock (approximately 0.2 acres) suitable for various uses. Situated in the highly sought-after hamlet of Poxwell near the World Heritage Jurassic coastline, this property is also close to local amenities in nearby Preston. With excellent walking paths through rolling countryside and seaside access just moments away, investment here will not only enhance your living space but also capitalize on its prime location.
