Occupying an expansive 3.4-acre plot, this detached period cottage offers a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property with substantial renovation and development potential. Nestled in a tranquil semi-rural area, the location combines privacy with easy access to nearby transport links connecting to Reading and Newbury. The surrounding villages of Mortimer, Burghfield, Theale, and Aldermaston offer various amenities, schools, and train stations, appealing to those desiring a blend of countryside charm and modern convenience. The cottage itself features three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the upper floor, while the ground floor includes three reception rooms alongside a kitchen, pantry, and WC. Additional outbuildings enhance the extensive grounds. With its generous plot size, Fernlea provides an excellent canvas for creating either a beautifully restored family home or even exploring options for comprehensive redevelopment (subject to planning permissions). Given its current condition and configuration, this property is particularly well-suited for cash buyers ready to bring their vision to life in this highly desirable area.
