Traditional farm cottage suitable for redevelopment in a most attractive rural setting.
The cottage is accessed from a farm track (shared maintenance) which meanders through farmland and over a short bridge. A driveway to the front of the property provides parking for one vehicle currently. The stone cottage has a slate roof to front and cement fibre on the rear roof panels. There is garden ground to two sides of the property and a derelict portacabin sits on the site to the east. This traditional single storey cottage presents a wonderful opportunity for a rural redevelopment project. Requiring full renovation, the cottage is currently configured to provide an entrance porch, living room with fireplace, galley kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The land to the rear which has recently been planted with trees is owned by a third party.
We understand that a septic tank serves the property, which lies out with the boundaries to the south-west, and that the property has water and electricity though no central heating. The property is served by a private water supply.
