Open to view each Saturday prior to the auction between 10:30am and 11:30am
This is a superb opportunity to purchase an individual stone built detached cottage offering huge potential for renovation with a quite surprising plot which extends to approximately 1.24 acres. The cottage comprises: Entrance hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, porch, garden room, landing, 3 bedrooms, bathroom and wc. It is in need of repair and renovation, particularly to the rooms within the side extension but could offer enormous potential for the next owner to renovate and redesign. The external grounds include a garden, driveway and dilapidated garage to the front. At the rear of the house there is the site of a former mill pond (now drained) and an extensive wooded valley with stream running through. This incredible prospect can only be fully appreciated by viewing.
