DESCRIPTION
A fantastic opportunity to purchase two three-bedroom detached homes on a stunning plot of approximately 1.6 acres. Perfect for families that wish to live together bordered only by farmland and countryside, or anyone wishing to let one of the houses as a rental or holiday home to provide an income stream. There are also development opportunities on this large valuable plot. Although offered for sale under a single title, planning permission has been secured for separation of the dwellings as required, with generous gardens and outdoor space. The Cottage dates from the mid 1800s with accommodation extending to 1600 square foot approximately. The Barn was purpose-built in 2004 offering approximately 1200 square feet of accommodation. There are raised vegetable beds and numerous versatile outbuildings currently offering art studios, workshop and fitness facilities, as well as greenhouses and a chicken run. In 2008 the cottage was re-wired and re-plumbed for hot water using a new oil-fired Rayburn which also acts as the source of heating. Both homes benefit from water softeners and sewage treatment plants, one newly installed in 2024, and have separate council tax and electricity billing. The Barn has an EV charging point installed. To fully appreciate all that is on offer a viewing is highly recommended.
