Description

"Six Acres & Counting"

A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious detached bungalow set within approximately six acres of garden land on the edge of Cottingham Village, offering an exceptional combination of generous living accommodation, extensive grounds and exciting further potential.

The bungalow provides approximately 1,700 sq ft of living accommodation, complemented by a double garage, and offers plenty of space for a buyer looking to create a substantial country home. The property is further enhanced by its extensive grounds, which provide an abundance of options for those seeking a more rural lifestyle.

A large agricultural barn sits within the grounds and, subject to the necessary planning consents, may offer potential for conversion or development to create an additional building plot. The land itself could also lend itself to a variety of uses, with the current owners highlighting its suitability for keeping horses or other livestock, or potentially for use as a plant nursery, subject to the relevant permissions.

With front road access to the six acres, the property offers an exceptional degree of accessibility and flexibility, while its position on the edge of Cottingham Village provides the ideal balance between rural space and village convenience.
