House For Sale £800,000
A unique opportunity to acquire a substantial period cottage. The beautifully presented property occupies a plot approaching half acre and has been extensively, but sympathetically extended to incorporate some original outbuildings which has created a fabulous living/working space. A large proportion of the extended part of the property was formally used as an artists studio and gallery and has its own access.
The original cottage retains a wealth of character with the newer extension complementing and balancing the overall accommodation really well. A particular feature of the property is the stunning garden room which has fabulous views over the rear garden.
Here is great potential for a multi generation family to live very comfortably, or for a combined residential and business use (subject to planning) Viewing is essential to appreciate the size and quality of the accommodation on offer.
