A rare opportunity to acquire this much-loved detached cottage sitting on a 0.5-acre rural but not isolated plot (stms) with the potential to establish a cattery by repairing the 11 chalets and separate isolation unit which are currently in-situ, or the option to convert them for another use (subject to consent).
Internally, downstairs the cottage currently comprises of a living room with a log-burning stove, a cosy snug, a quirky kitchen, a cloakroom, a lean-to conservatory and a convenient store room. Upstairs is a king-sized bedroom and a stunning bathroom with a 4-piece suite including a freestanding roll-top bath. The impressive landing is currently utilised as a sitting room which enjoys farmland views, but could easily be converted to a second king-size bedroom.
Externally, the established cottage garden with its trees, shrubs and bushes is a haven for wildlife and a delight for gardening enthusiasts. There is a parking area for multiple vehicles including a caravan/motorhome if desired. Along with the cat chalets, there is a storage shed and a garage/workshop.
