Secluded elevated cottage with large plot and significant extension potential.
Full planning permission to extend to a five-bedroom house
Set in a secluded elevated position on a no-through lane, this unlisted Victorian cottage enjoys outstanding views over Bewl Reservoir and wide open countryside. The house currently provides three bedrooms, traditional character features and about 1,035 sq ft of living space, with a large garden and outbuilding set within an extensive plot of around an acre.
A key advantage is the full planning permission granted to nearly double the footprint and create a five‑bedroom family home, making this property an attractive project for a growing family or those seeking substantial value-add. The site is accessed via a shared private drive and includes off-street parking, peaceful rural outlooks and ample external space for landscaping or extension work.
Buyers should note several practical considerations: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are very slow, and drainage is to a private sewerage system that requires updating. The property has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), an EPC rating of E (42) and council tax at the higher Band G — all relevant to running costs and any renovation plans.
Overall this cottage offers rare scope: immediate quiet countryside living with significant permitted development potential. It suits purchasers prepared to invest in upgrades and modernisation to unlock the full five‑bedroom layout and improve energy performance.
