Description

This distinctive three-bedroom detached cottage, situated on a spacious corner plot in the sought-after Highcliffe area, presents a valuable opportunity for renovation and investment. Located within the highly regarded Highcliffe School catchment and conveniently close to various local amenities, this character property encompasses nearly 1,200 sq. ft. of internal space ripe for modernisation. The home features two ample reception rooms, a good-sized kitchen/breakfast area, and a practical ground floor WC, accompanied by a family bathroom upstairs. Additionally, it boasts an integral double garage and off-road parking for two vehicles. Importantly, planning permission has been granted for the construction of a contemporary detached home in place of the current structure, adding an exciting layer of potential development. The existing layout offers further opportunities for transformation to suit personal tastes or rental markets, subject to obtaining necessary consents. The south-easterly facing rear garden is particularly appealing, providing privacy surrounded by mature greenery and offering outdoor space ideal for leisure or entertaining. Given its prime location near beautiful coastal scenery and easy access to transport links including Hinton Admiral Train Station with direct routes to London, this property represents an attractive option for both homeowners and investors alike. A personal viewing is essential to fully appreciate the inherent potential this home holds.
