Fishermans Cottage, Blakemere, SY13

Open 9am-9pm, 7 Days A Week!

A rather unique opportunity to acquire not one, but two charming cottages, set within a peaceful rural position near Blakemere Lake, just a short distance from the ever-popular market town of Whitchurch.

Known as 1 & 2 Fisherman’s Cottage, this pair of characterful homes offer a highly versatile setup, perfectly suited to multi-generational living, but perhaps most notably presenting a compelling opportunity for investors or those seeking a lifestyle purchase with strong holiday let or rental income potential. Whether utilised as short-term holiday accommodation, long-term rentals, or a combination of both, the flexibility here is a real standout feature.

Both properties enjoy their own sense of space and privacy, whilst sharing a delightful setting surrounded by open countryside—an idyllic backdrop that only enhances their appeal to the growing staycation market.

The accommodation is well laid out, with Number One offering a cosy and manageable one-bedroom arrangement, ideal for a single let or holiday retreat, whilst Number Two provides more generous proportions, including flexible reception space and additional bedrooms—perfect for larger groups or family occupancy. Both cottages retain a warmth and charm that hints at their history, yet equally present an exciting opportunity for a new owner to enhance, add value, and truly maximise their income potential over time.

Outside, electric gates open onto a spacious driveway providing ample parking, along with a lawned garden and a charming courtyard seating area positioned between the cottages—perfect for guests or residents alike to enjoy the slower pace of rural living.

The location strikes a fine balance—peaceful and tucked away, yet within easy reach of Whitchurch, which offers a wide range of everyday amenities, schooling, and rail links connecting to larger centres—further strengthening its appeal for both tenants and holidaymakers.

Offered for sale with no upward chain, this is a rare and intriguing opportunity, particularly well suited to cash buyers or investors seeking a distinctive property with genuine scope for income generation and future growth.

Agents Notes (Water Supply, Important Information)

The cottages currently receive their water supply via the neighbouring property. Individual sub-meters have been installed to each cottage to monitor usage.
We are advised that a formal arrangement for billing and supply has not been agreed with the neighbouring owner. Buyers should be aware that this will require resolution and are advised to seek clarification from their solicitor during the conveyancing process.
Alternative options, including the installation of an independent water supply, have been explored, with indicative costs available upon request.

I.D & Money Laundering Checks

Once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Dourish & Day estate agents we are required to complete ID verification checks on all buyers and to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends. Whilst this is the responsibility of Dourish & Day we may use the services of MoveButler, to verify Clients’ identity. This is not a credit check and therefore will have no effect on your credit history. You agree for us to complete these checks, and the cost of these checks is £30.00 inc. VAT per buyer. This is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.

Garden

The property is approached via secure double gates, opening onto a generous gravelled driveway which provides ample off-road parking. To the side and rear, there are well-proportioned, private lawned garden areas, offering a pleasant outdoor space to enjoy. Please note that Blakemere House retains a right of access from their garden across part of the driveway in order to reach their garage. This arrangement dates back to when the properties formed part of a single dwelling prior to 2020.

Parking - Driveway

Secure double gates lead to a gravelled driveway which provides ample off road parking.
