4 bedroom detached house for sale

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a detached Georgian cottage, understood to date from 1768, occupying a prominent corner plot within the heart of this well-served and highly regarded village. Rich in history and character, the property offers substantial accommodation arranged over two floors, together with attached single storey brick outbuildings and a garage, presenting significant scope for full restoration and modernisation.

The accommodation extends to an entrance hall leading through to a lounge and separate dining room, both offering generous proportions typical of the Georgian era. The kitchen is positioned to the rear and is complemented by a pantry and rear lobby. A ground floor bathroom, separate WC and conservatory complete the layout at this level.

To the first floor, a central landing provides access to four bedrooms and a separate WC, offering flexible family accommodation and considerable potential for reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents.

Externally, the property benefits from a fully enclosed garden and driveway situated to the rear, accessed via timber double gates. The corner plot position enhances both privacy and presence within the village streetscape.

It should be noted that the property is currently in a poor state of repair and requires comprehensive restoration and upgrading throughout. As such, it is ideally suited to investors, cash purchasers or developers seeking a rewarding refurbishment project within a desirable village setting.
