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.
