Detached two-storey cottage on huge enclosed plot
Two bedrooms plus dressing room/office; one shower room
Large lounge with exposed beams and log-burning stove
Utility, cloakroom, brick-built store and outbuilding
Driveway parking for several vehicles and attached car port
Needs renovation throughout; modernisation required
Oil-fired boiler in utility; services likely need updating
Very slow broadband; average mobile signal — affects homeworking
Set on a very large enclosed plot in quiet Little Hutton, this detached two-storey cottage offers substantial scope for a sympathetic country remake. The house has generous reception and utility space on the ground floor, two first-floor bedrooms plus a dressing room/office, and long driveway parking with a car port and brick-built store. Open rural views from the front windows and mature hedging around the garden give a strong feeling of privacy and space.
The property is sold freehold and offers clear potential to extend, subject to necessary planning permissions — a notable opportunity for someone wanting to add living space or reconfigure rooms. The sizable rear garden and outbuildings will appeal to gardeners, families downsizing from a larger home, or hobbyists who need storage and workshop space.
Practical issues are straightforward but material: the house needs renovation throughout, including modernisation of finishes and likely updates to services. Heating is via an oil-fired boiler located in the utility; the property currently has a single shower room. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — important considerations for home workers. Internal ceiling heights are described as low in places.
This is a countryside fixer-upper rather than a turnkey purchase. It suits a buyer seeking space, privacy and the chance to create a bespoke country cottage, and who can take on renovation costs, plan for service upgrades, and obtain any required consents for alterations.
