This handsome 18th‑century detached stone cottage sits on a large, private plot in Pantasaph, offering genuine period character and expansive countryside views from every room. The house currently provides comfortable family accommodation with a cosy living room and multifuel log burner, a snug with French doors to a patio, a generous dining room and a country‑style kitchen. Outside there are wrap‑around landscaped gardens, a detached garage and secure parking for several vehicles.
Three double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor; the rooms are bright and peaceful, benefitting from the rural outlook. The property is warmed by an air‑source heat pump with radiators and electric supply. Broadband speeds are reported fast and the location has average mobile signal — practical for modern living while remaining rural and secluded.
There is strong development potential: the plot and layout offer scope to extend, reconfigure internal space or potentially create a separate dwelling subject to planning permission. That opportunity will suit buyers wanting to add value or adapt the house to changing needs, but any works will require formal consents.
Important practical points: the cottage has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and some images note overgrown areas and roof damage which will need inspection and repair. Council tax is described as expensive and the surrounding area scores high for deprivation — factors to weigh alongside the rural benefits. Overall, this is a characterful historic home on a large plot with significant scope for improvement and extension for the right buyer.
