First time on the market for over twenty five years.
Florida Farmhouse is a charming and deceptively spacious detached stone former farmhouse under a slate roof, set within lovely grounds that extend to approximately 0.37 acre. A rare opportunity for prospective purchasers, it now requires full modernisation but offers so much appeal and potential, and still features the original sash windows and internal shutters.
The current accommodation extends to just over 1,000 sq ft and comprises a rear entry/utility area, with bathroom off (no fittings in place). An internal door then leads into the present kitchen, which in turn carries through to a large living room with glazed door to the garden and a fireplace opening. Directly off the living room are two spacious bedrooms. Access to the first floor is presently gained via a ladder from the kitchen, and on the first floor a landing area and two potential attic bedrooms can be found, one with a rooflight.
N.B The cottage is unlikely to be suitable for a mortgage given the lack of facilities, and we would therefore encourage interested parties to speak with their financial advisors/lenders prior to enquiring, if finance is required.
