Description

An intriguing, deceptively spacious three bedroom semi-detached cottage occupying a versatile and generous corner plot, prominently positioned at the junction of Greenway and the village High Street.

Offered for sale chain free, this individual home offers tremendous scope for a discerning purchaser to personalise and remodel the accommodation to their own specification whilst enjoying the benefit of living in an individual period property.

The property has undergone a number of improvements and changes over the years, offering a versatile and flexible arrangement of accommodation comprising of a sitting room, a separate dining room, a downstairs shower room/WC leading through to ground-floor third double bedroom. An inner hallway leading to a utility room, a kitchen and a conservatory style lean-to. The part divided first-floor landing leads to a generous double bedroom and a most characterful second bedroom featuring an abundance of original beams, feature fireplace and a staircase rising to a vaulted mezzanine level above.

The extensive wrap around gardens extends to two sides of the property, the majority of which are situated to the side of the cottage and in our opinion could be enclosed to provide a generous and private garden or offer flexibility for additional off-road parking with the benefit of an existing drop-kerb to the front of the cottage.

Viewing highly recommended.
