3 bedroom cottage for sale

A three bedroom period cottage with quirky character and tremendous potential.

The property sits on a fabulous plot which extends to half an acre and borders beautiful open countryside. The cottage, thought to date back to the 1800's, retains a wealth of charm and original character but would benefit from modernisation. Downstairs there is a homely cottage kitchen, characterful dining room, spacious sitting room as well as a utility room and downstairs bathroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a study with the potential to convert to a fourth bedroom.

The cottage is positioned at the front of the plot with a private driveway and hardstanding and gravel parking area to the side. The driveway continues past a small portion of the garden, which has been enclosed as a play area, and opens out into a second parking area with access to the outbuildings. The glorious South Easterly facing garden extends from here.

The garden here really is something special, bordered by mature hedges it is completely private. Whilst it is in need of some TLC it has the potential to be a wonderful family garden. Wander down the pathway, through the lawned orchard and down to the bottom of the garden where you will find the charming garden house. With its attractive wooden veranda and rustic log burning stove it is the perfect place to while away the hours.
