Property description

A charming 3/4 bedroom detached cottage standing in mature gardens of approximately 1 acre. Extensively re-furbished by the present owners. This south facing property provides comfortable and practical accommodation set within the privacy of a beautiful garden which can be enjoyed from the dual aspect views of most of the rooms.

The property has full planning permission to extend the accommodation and create a two bedroom self contained annex.

The 3.92kw solar panel array will produce an income of approximately £30,000 from government Feed In Tariff payments during the life of the system. In addition this generates most of the daytime power requirements for the current owners in the summer months.

The one acre garden is bounded by mature trees and has extensive lawns to the front and rear of the property. The cottage style borders contain many rare and unusual plants providing a haven for wildlife. There is also an orchard of apple, pear, plum and cherry trees.

Situated on a 'No Through Road' within in the small village of West Drayton its location provides excellent road and rail links with easy access to the A1 and the East Coast main railway line at Retford only 6 miles away. Local schools are Gamston C of E Primary and Tuxford Academy.

This property rarely comes on the market and once viewed you will appreciate why owners stay so long and are always reluctant to sell.

Please see the many photographs that accompany this listing and the indicative floor plan for further detail. The best way to appreciate this property is to arrange a viewing appointment which you can do seven days a week by calling the number above or clicking on the contact link provided.
