5 bedroom cottage for sale

A vacant detached period cottage offers approximately 2,771 sq ft of accommodation, surrounded by attractive gardens, enjoying a peaceful cul-de-sac position close to open countryside yet within reach of public transport links. The accommodation includes five bedrooms, including a principal suite with ensuite bathroom. Living space is extensive and versatile, comprising a drawing room with inglenook fireplace, formal dining room, family room, snug, study, and conservatory. There is a kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, complemented by a utility area. A detached double garage/workshop provides excellent storage. Ceiling repairs are required in some rooms following previous water damage. This is fully reflected in the guide price and presents a clear opportunity for refurbishment and modernisation, allowing the next owner to enhance and add value to an already impressive period home.

To the first floor you can find the Principal bedroom suite with an array of built in wardrobes, lift access to ground floor and well-appointed ensuite bathroom. Four further double bedrooms are served by the family shower room.

Most building societies and banks will instruct a surveyor to prepare a valuation report before making a mortgage offer.
