About
Offers in excess of £750,000 Blackdown Cottage is set within approximately seven acres of private woodland, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a property with significant potential in a peaceful, natural setting.
The land has been owned by the same family for over 50 years and includes a three bedroom cottage, a historic farmhouse, cabin and surrounding woodland with a stream and waterfall.
The Cottage Built in the 1970s, the ground floor comprises a kitchen, bathroom and a spacious open-plan living/dining area with fireplace and doors opening onto the terrace.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, with scope to create an en-suite.
The property is currently habitable but would benefit from modernisation, offering excellent potential for renovation, extension or redevelopment (subject to the necessary planning permissions).
The Farmhouse Also within the grounds is the original farmhouse, dating back over 400 years.
Previously a two-storey dwelling and now arranged as a single storey, the building requires full renovation.
It offers considerable scope for restoration and could be adapted for a variety of uses, including ancillary accommodation or a holiday let (subject to planning).
Potential This is a property with multiple possibilities.
Buyers may look to improve and extend the existing bungalow, restore the farmhouse, or explore alternative uses such as multi-generational living or income-generating opportunities (subject to the necessary permissions).
