Description

Where rural, tranquil living meets modern technology! A fabulous opportunity has arisen for someone to become the next owners of Meadow View Cottage in South Loftus, close by Grinkle Lane. This property offers a twist, a Sandstone built Farmhouse conversion with the addition of Solar heated water, Solar panels with Tesla battery back up as well as a feed in tariff offering a return from the energy supplier of circa £900 pa. All in all, a VERY cheap property to run given its size!

Meadow View is accessed via a private driveway, a truly rural location with only three neighbours, benefiting from approx. 1 acre of paddock with large stable and storage, an orchard with apple, plum and pear trees, decking area with mini-bar and sitting area, stunning views over meadow and moorland. There is an array of solar panels all gathering sufficient energy to run the property to minimum cost, solar heated water and direct water well supply, Tesla batteries storing unused energy while all the time returning back to the grid surplus energy and providing a small return year on year. EV Charging point, with Starlink satellite internet.

Internally the property offers some delightful features, a spacious lounge, ceiling beams and sandstone Inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel stove, conservatory overlooking the meadow, downstairs bedroom and bathroom, upstairs to the three further bedrooms, one with en-suite. Unusually there is also plenty of storage within the property....

If you are looking for rural peaceful living, with affordable outgoings then do not miss the opportunity to view Meadow View Cottage!

In short, Meadow View Cottage offers excellent family living with the flexibility of a downstairs bedroom for family members preferring not to deal with stairs, externally there is fantastic outside space, plenty of parking with the current owners previously using the stable as a garage. Little traffic meaning this should be a relatively safe place for children to enjoy the outdoors whilst sitting overlooking the idyllic views from your own bar!
