Grade II Listed Detached Cottage on Approx. 0.43 Acres (STMS) with Outbuildings.
A rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed detached cottage occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.43 acres (STMS), together with a range of useful outbuildings and offering significant scope for renovation and enhancement.
Believed to have originally comprised two cottages, the property has remained in the same family for almost a century and now presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a restoration project with considerable future potential.
The accommodation retains many original period features including exposed beams, fireplaces and characterful proportions. The ground floor comprises three reception rooms, a study, kitchen, utility area, bathroom and separate WC. The versatile layout provides ample scope for reconfiguration to suit modern living, subject to any necessary consents.
The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases and provides three bedrooms. The connecting arrangement of two bedrooms offers flexibility for a guest suite, dressing room or potential additional bathroom, subject to the relevant approvals.
Properties of this nature, offering extensive character, generous grounds and genuine scope for enhancement, rarely become available and are expected to appeal to builders, developers, investors and owner occupiers.
Ground Floor Side entrance door into useful utility area, kitchen, three receptions, study, ground floor bath/shower room and separate cloakroom.
First Floor Two staircases to first floor accommodation. Two interconnecting bedrooms and further staircase leading to a further bedroom.
Outside Outside
The property is approached via a generous tarmac driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a timber garage. The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.43 acres (STMS) and include substantial traditional clay lump outbuildings together with additional storage buildings, presenting excellent potential for conversion, ancillary accommodation, home office use or other alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and listed building consent.
The rear gardens enjoy views over adjoining farmland and offer considerable scope for landscaping or further enhancement.
Agent Note All viewers should be aware the property stands alongside the street and features some low beams, reduced height doorways and steep staircases, typical of a property of this age.
