Property description
Ravenstondale Cottages – A Pair of Beautifully Restored Stone Cottages with Income PotentialAn exciting opportunity to acquire two sympathetically renovated terraced cottages — 1 and 2 Midtown, affectionately known together as Ravenstondale Cottages. While each property enjoys its own independent access and unique charm, they are being offered as a fabulous combined package, providing buyers with exceptional versatility — whether as an investment opportunity, holiday let venture, or a home with income potential by living in one and letting the other.Both cottages have been beautifully restored, blending traditional character with bespoke craftsmanship and modern comforts, all while retaining the warmth and authenticity of their period origins.1 MidtownStepping inside, the living room immediately exudes charm, featuring exposed beams, tiled flooring, and a feature fireplace, creating a welcoming focal point. A discreet internal doorway connects to 2 Midtown, providing the option of combined or separate living arrangements.The bespoke fitted kitchen is thoughtfully designed, with oak work surfaces, open shelving, and a metal inset sink with mixer tap. A useful understairs cupboard houses the fridge, while the free-standing electric cooker and washing machine are included. The kitchen enjoys external access through a part-glazed hardwood door.Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two bedrooms and a stylish bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite — bath with shower over, basin, and WC, all fully tiled. The front bedroom enjoys natural light, while the rear bedroom benefits from an overstairs cupboard housing the cylinder.2 MidtownAccessed independently via both front and rear doors (or internally from 1 Midtown), 2 Midtown is equally delightful. The living room features lovely parquet flooring, exposed beams, and a wood-burning stove, creating an inviting and cosy atmosphere.The kitchen continues the bespoke theme, with base units topped in Canadian Beech work surfaces, open shelving, and a handcrafted dining table and chairs. Appliances include a free-standing cooker, fridge with freezer compartment, and washing machine. A hardwood door opens to the rear garden, and stairs lead to the first floor.Upstairs, a generous bedroom sits to the front, complete with a feature fireplace and wooden flooring. Beyond lies a versatile dressing room or study, with an overstairs cupboard housing the cylinder, and access to the stylish shower room, which comprises a WC, basin, and fully tiled shower cubicle with mains shower.OutsideTo the front of both cottages lies a small, low-maintenance walled garden, while to the rear is an attractive tiered outdoor space, featuring a hardstanding area, flower beds, wood-chipped sections, and a gravelled seating area complete with a bespoke tree-stump table. Mature shrubs and trees add greenery and privacy, while a rear gate leads to parking for one vehicle. A useful outhouse provides additional storage and houses the former WC.SummaryThe renovation of Ravenstondale Cottages has been carried out with great sensitivity and attention to detail, celebrating original features such as exposed beams, fireplaces, and traditional materials while introducing tasteful contemporary touches. The result is a pair of characterful, versatile, and cosy homes that lend themselves perfectly to a range of lifestyles — from family living to holiday letting or dual-occupancy arrangements.The vendor has obtained holiday let income projections from two agents — please contact our office for further information.A truly charming and flexible opportunity — two delightful cottages, beautifully restored, and ready for their next chapter.Please note: a right of way exists across the rear of the properties for the neighbouring cottage.
