Description

Nestled in a delightful rural location next to the Hundred Foot River and Washes, River Toll Cottage presents a unique opportunity to own a 3 bedroomed detached house in a large plot within a setting surrounded by an abundance of bird and wildlife drawn to the habitat offered by the neighbouring washes.

This detached property spans approximately 1,750 sq ft comprising hallway, spacious kitchen/diner and lounge, boot room and utility, cloakroom, three double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite and a family bathroom. The property sits on approximately 0.2 acres (STS) of garden, with an additional parcel of land nearby measuring around 0.15 acres (STS) which presents excellent potential for future expansion, be it a garage or outbuilding, subject to necessary planning permissions.

An added benefit is that the property is relatively environmentally friendly as due to the location there is no mains electricity which is instead supplied via solar panels with battery storage (and a generator should it be required).

River Toll Cottage exemplifies countryside living at its finest, offering a blend of modern comforts and natural beauty in a tranquil setting, making it a property well worth considering for those seeking a peaceful retreat with nature and country walks on the doorstep.
