Description

This detached cottage-style residence is situated on the outskirts of Thorrington, occupying over one third of an acre with scenic views of open farmland. The property presents a unique opportunity for investment, as it comes with granted planning permission for a mixed-use development that includes a veterinary practice alongside its residential function. The proposed single-storey extension and stable construction further enhance its potential. Inside, the home features a cloakroom, a spacious lounge/diner adorned with exposed brickwork and a fireplace, alongside a conservatory that provides additional living space. The kitchen/breakfast room is functional yet ripe for updates with ample room for modern appliances. Three bedrooms on the first floor offer promising potential for reconfiguration or refurbishment, complemented by a family bathroom that can be upgraded. The gardens are well-established, providing outdoor space with good privacy through hedging and fencing. Additional assets include a garage with power connections and generous off-road parking facilities. This property awaits the right investor to unlock its full potential.
