Description

Detached cottage set in a very large plot offering a huge amount of potential to expand or develop with the necessary planning consents.

A beautifully positioned detached cottage, occupying a wonderfully generous plot and offering enormous potential to create a truly special country home.

Whilst the cottage would now benefit from a programme of updating and modernisation, it offers an abundance of character and exciting potential. The existing accommodation provides an excellent starting point, with considerable scope to enhance, reconfigure or potentially extend the property, subject of course to the necessary consents.

For buyers with imagination and vision, this is a wonderful opportunity to transform a traditional detached cottage into a fabulous individual home, all within a beautiful setting and surrounded by an impressive amount of outside space.

The property enjoys a tucked away position in the favoured settlement of Sweethay, which lies near to Trull which is regarded as one of the best addresses of the County Town and the town centre is readily accessible about 2 miles to the north where a wide range of amenities will be found.

Locally Trull offers village stores, popular primary school, community centre and regular nearby buses run to the town centre itself. There are many local footpaths that provide easy access into the adjoining attractive countryside.

The sweeping driveway access creates an impressive approach to the cottage, opening onto a turning circle with ample space in front of the house.

The extensive gardens and grounds, extending to approximately one acre, are undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attractions, with generous lawns and an orchard creating a wonderfully spacious setting.

The front garden is elevated above the road, from where there are lovely open views across the fields beyond. Completing the outside space is a useful detached double garage/workshop with up-and-over doors.
