Description

This delightful detached cottage, dating back to the 19th century, presents an excellent opportunity for investment and renovation in the heart of Charlton Horethorne. Known as Golden Valley Farm Cottage, this three-bedroom property boasts charming period features such as a thatched roof, exposed beams, and an inglenook fireplace with an original bread oven. Its picturesque location along a tranquil country lane offers expansive countryside views that enhance its appeal. The home includes a spacious kitchen with modern amenities and utility space that could benefit from updates to improve functionality further. The ground floor is welcoming with a hallway leading to a cozy sitting room and a dual-aspect dining room that overlooks the surrounding landscape. Each bedroom on the first floor has characterful features and could be personalised or refreshed to create inviting retreats. The family bathroom has been equipped with modern conveniences yet retains its rustic charm; however, there is potential for reconfiguration or enhancement. Outside, the property features a sizable garden enclosed by stone walls and hedges, presenting ample opportunities for landscaping or extension (subject to planning). With proximity to local amenities such as shops, schools, and recreational activities, this cottage stands out not just for its charm but also for its potential as a renovation project that could significantly increase its value in this desirable village setting.
