Property description

A detached two bedroom cobb built cottage with Garage and further parking occupying a narrow plot which extends to around half an acre. The property requires complete modernisation and updating but would then provide an ideal country home.

The accommodation, which is arranged over two level is currently arranged as an Entrance Porch, Sitting Room, Kitchen, Lobby and Bathroom on the ground floor whilst the first floor has been divided into two Bedrooms.  The property has septic tank drainage, mains water (although there is also a Well) and electricity.  The cooker works off bottled gas.  We understand from the current vendors that no maintenance or updating works have been carried out over the last forty years.
 
The cottage enjoys a garden to the side, which provides ample scope for extension, subject to the usual consents.
 
There are also several outbuildings to include brick built Store Sheds and a Laundry/Outhouse.  The property has a detached single Garage, with room to the side to either extend the existing garage to provide a double/treble or, for hardstanding.  The land extends to the right of the property and was once an orchard and although it is almost half an acre in length, the plot is narrow, extending to 15’ maximum, but suitable for a pony, donkeys or goats.
