Chain-free two-bedroom cottage with large gardens and workshop—ideal renovation project in scenic countryside..
Chain free cottage, ready for renovation
A chain-free two-bedroom cottage in a peaceful rural setting, offered as a clear renovation project with strong upside for the right buyer or investor. The roof has been recently replaced and insulated, reducing immediate major-cost risk, while the property retains period features such as exposed beams and a working log burner.
The house needs comprehensive internal work: replastering, new floor coverings, completion of the central heating installation, and window replacement to improve appearance and efficiency. Walls are solid brick with no known insulation, the EPC is F, and heating currently runs on an LPG boiler—factors to consider for running costs and retrofit expense.
Outside, extensive east- and north-facing gardens, far-reaching countryside views and a detached workshop give scope to create attractive outdoor living or add-value landscaping. Driveway parking for two vehicles and very low local crime add practical appeal; broadband speeds are very slow, and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working options.
Overall this property suits an investor, experienced DIYer or buyer seeking a countryside project with clear potential: limited structural risk thanks to the replaced roof, but requiring a budget for insulation, heating completion and full internal refurbishment.
