Description

Nestled away behind double gates on Marshfield Road, Cross Meadow Cottage is a hidden gem that presents significant potential for renovation and investment. Situated on a substantial plot, this charming cottage has more space than its exterior suggests, offering a unique opportunity to enhance its character while increasing its value. The property features a long driveway leading up to a detached garage, providing ample parking and an inviting sense of privacy. Surrounded by well-established gardens, the property boasts a front lawn bordered by an attractive stone wall, along with further outdoor areas around the home, ideal for those looking to create distinct garden spaces. Inside, the layout starts with two entrance points – one into a versatile hall that can serve as a utility area and another directly into an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining room. This area is bathed in natural light thanks to large windows overlooking the garden, offering great potential for updates to modernize the space or enhance its functionality for entertaining. A lean-to off the kitchen adds practical storage options, while the ground floor shower room provides additional conveniences for daily life. The living room exudes warmth and charm, featuring a traditional brick fireplace with an original bread oven that could be restored as a focal point once again. It also has direct access to outdoor spaces and open stairs leading to the first floor. Upstairs comprises two bedrooms plus an adaptable additional room that currently functions as a passageway but could easily be transformed into a study or dressing room according to your needs. The main bedroom is notably spacious and includes an ensuite bathroom. Cross Meadow Cottage offers investors or renovators a unique chance to infuse personal touches into a home rich with character while capitalizing on its considerable potential in this sought-after South West location.
