About
The Property CHARMING ONE-BEDROOM COTTAGE | NO UPWARD CHAIN | FREEHOLD Steeped in traditional charm and offering plenty of potential, this delightful one-bedroom end-terrace cottage enjoys a peaceful rural village setting in Acresford, within the National Forest.
Offered with NO UPWARD CHAIN, the property would make an ideal first home, investment or cosy countryside retreat.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming lounge, featuring a characterful brick and timber fireplace with cast-iron log burner, dual-aspect windows and tiled flooring.
The fitted kitchen has a range of modern wall and base units, worktops and space for appliances.
Upstairs, the generous double bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows, while the spacious bathroom provides a real focal point with its impressive free-standing claw-foot roll-top bath, complemented by a WC and wash basin.
Outside, there is a small rear hard-standing area, providing useful space for bins, seating or storage, together with a tarmac driveway to the front.
The property also benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating.
ACRESFORD is a small rural hamlet surrounded by the beautiful National Forest, with amenities available in nearby Overseal and Measham.
The location is particularly convenient for commuters, being approximately two miles from Junction 11 of the M42, with Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Swadlincote, Tamworth and Birmingham all within easy reach.
Both East Midlands and Birmingham airports are also accessible by road. TENURE: FREEHOLD Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the charm, location and potential this lovely cottage has to offer.
