Perfect for those seeking a peaceful semirural lifestyle with exciting potential for further development, including the possibility of creating an annexe (subject to planning).

Entering the property, solid wood flooring greets you and flows through the main living spaces. To the front of the bungalow is the sitting room, a cosy and inviting space complete with an electric feature fireplace and front-aspect window.

The bedroom sits adjacent, also featuring hardwood flooring and a charming bay-fronted window, giving the room a bright, open feel.

Outside, the cottage sits on a generous plot. The front includes a carport and ample off-road parking, while the spacious rear garden is laid mainly to lawn, enclosed and enhanced by open field views.

A standout feature is the garden studio, making it ideal for a home office, hobby space, gym, or subject to planning, conversion into a one-bedroom annexe, offering potential for additional accommodation or Airbnb income. There is also a separate workshop, wood store and shed, each providing further flexibility and storage options.
