This quintessential cottage is available on the open market for the first time in 56 years and has been exceptionally well maintained by the current owners. They have raised their family here, enjoying the swimming pool, a particular delight for the children. Additionally, the detached 1-bedroom annexe is currently let under an assured shorthold tenancy, offering the successful buyer a regular income, dual-family living options, or a lucrative holiday let opportunity, as the annexe is by the pool. There's also potential to convert the garage/workshop into a further letting unit, subject to any necessary planning consents.
