Details
This is an excellent and rare opportunity to acquire a 3 bedroom cottage which requires general modernisation and improvement. However, the cottage offers tremendous scope and potential for the next owner to place their own mark on the property and, when done, it will make for a delightful home in a lovely semi rural location. There is the advantage of there being NO ONWARD CHAIN.
Rose Cottage stands within it’s own good size and level garden, in a quiet, tucked away position to the edge of this very sought after village. It is situated in a no through road, so the only passing traffic is your neighbour. It is, therefore, ideal for those wanting a private location away from the hustle and bustle of a large town.
There is tremendous potential, here, both internally and out and , Subject to P.P. there is huge space to extend the accommodation to make a wonderful family home. Alternatively, the level gardens offer excellent space to build a separate unit within the plot. Once completed and modernised, this will make for a very comfortable full time property for a growing family, or as a delightful holiday home.
The rooms flow well with an entrance porch to the kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a rear porch and a very useful cloakroom. The sitting room has a large inglenook fireplace and door to a good size rear conservatory. Also from the sitting room there is access to the dining room or this could make for a lovely snug/ TV room. To the first floor are 3 bedrooms and a well appointed 4 piece bathroom. The property benefits from oil fired central heating.
The garden surrounds Rose Cottage mainly to the side and rear. This is mainly lawns and , in the past, soma space would have put laid to productive vegetable gardens. There are 2 wide fir trees which although are a lovely feature, they could be felled to provide more open space. To the far side of the plot is an old caravan with some trees. It is thought that this area (Sub PP) could be built on to provide accommodation for a dependant relative, for letting or o sell on as a separate home.
