Introduction 

A very rare and exciting opportunity to purchase this delightful detached cottage, which is in need of full and total modernisation.  Subject to permissions the property offers superb potential for any new buyer to create a wonderful home situated close to the village centre.  The property backs onto fields and sits on a 0.2 acre plot.   We are advised that the original part of the property dates back to the early 19th century with subsequent extensions in the 20th century.  Please note that for any redevelopment the local authority has advised that the original part of the property must remain. 

Inside, the property offers reception hallway, dining room, living room, kitchen/diner and WC to the ground floor. Upstairs there are four bedrooms with a further cot room/study/bedroom which is accessed off bedroom two.  There is also a first floor bathroom.   The property has suffered from a leaking roof which has caused water damage to the property.

Outside there is a garage and off road parking to the side of the property.  The main garden, which is to the side of the property measures 124ft to its maximum point and is well established with multiple trees. To the other side of the property the land extends approximately 70ft from maximum point to the property.
