Summary - Lane End Cottage, Barkisland HX4 0EP
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Five-bedroom detached cottage on c.2 acres — renovation project with huge potential.
Five bedrooms and two bathrooms in detached period cottage
Lane End Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom detached cottage set in about 2 acres of gardens and grounds, offering expansive rural views and significant scope for improvement. The main living spaces include a large through lounge, conservatory, farmhouse-style kitchen and flexible sitting/study rooms; a detached double garage and driveway provide ample parking. Constructed before 1900 in sandstone/limestone, the house retains character but requires modernisation throughout and some assumed fabric upgrades (walls currently uninsulated).
This property will be sold by modern auction. Buyers should note there is an undisclosed reserve price, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum applies) and other buyer fees — read the Buyer Information Pack and reservation agreement carefully before bidding. The sale process is time-limited (completion typically within 56 days) and prospective purchasers should allow time for mortgage arrangements and surveys.
Practicalities and constraints: mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing of unknown fit date, slow broadband and average mobile signal typical of a hamlet location. Council tax is described as expensive. The site is ideal for a family or buyer seeking a countryside renovation with generous plot to create landscaped gardens, equestrian use or ancillary buildings, but budget should include refurbishment, potential insulation/upgrading of historic walls, and standard modern compliance checks.
For buyers seeking a spacious detached home in a very affluent, low-crime rural setting, Lane End Cottage offers rare land scale and long-term value after renovation. For investors or auction purchasers, the combination of plot, five bedrooms and scope to update presents clear upside, provided auction costs and refurbishment requirements are factored into purchase calculations.
