About this property

An early 18th Century Grade II Listed detached cottage with adjoining thatched barn and walled garden in need of full renovation and refurbishment with potential for a loft conversion (subject to the necessary consents and regulations).

Dating back to the early 18th Century, the property is constructed of coarse squared limestone beneath an asbestos tile roof, with leaded light windows. The property was enlarged in the 19th Century in brick beneath a tiled roof. An adjoining stone barn, with a thatched roof (in need of replacement), provides the potential for further accommodation. The property is in need of renovation and refurbishment.

A building survey has been undertaken and is available for inspection upon request. The surveyor's report advises that the building is generally sound, however maintenance and repairs have been neglected in recent years. The joinery including the windows are in poor condition. There is also rising damp at the base of the walls and live woodworm in the roof space. The internal fittings and fixtures are dated and in poor condition. Additional renovation works are likely to include the re-thatching of the barn, re-configuration of the accommodation, re-wiring, plumbing, joinery, heating, remedial work to address rising damp and timber infestation, drainage, re-plastering. In addition, cosmetic updating will involve kitchen and bathroom replacement, re-decorating and, externally, some landscaping.
