Rose Cottage is an individual detached cottage that offers great potential for renovation and has full planning consent for an extension The cottage is currently modeest in size but it benefits from a modern kitchen fitted in 2021 and a bathroom fitted in 2019; however, the first-floor accommodation currently has restricted headroom, which interested parties may wish to try to alter. The planning consent offers an opportunity for anyone looking for a Holiday Home or a renovation project, with the option to extend to provide additional living accommodation if required. Full planning has been granted for the conversion of an existing adjoining outbuilding and the extension of the accommodation. The property is single-glazed and has oil-fired heating. The property did enjoy a much larger garden, but full planning has recently been approved for a single detached house on the garden, so it is being offered separately. The vendors would consider offers on the cottage with the garden plot.
