OVERVIEW
A fantastic opportunity to purchase a picture postcard cottage with garden, parking and separate detached barn. The cottage offers two bedrooms, both doubles, a characterful lounge with wood burner plus a dining kitchen. A utility/porch has been added at the side and there is a useful cellar. The garden at the front is well planted with traditional herbaceous borders and lawn and there is parking and turning at the rear. The detached barn is two storey and features the original stable stalls and there is a lean-to at the side. Excellent potential throughout to develop, extend and modernise (subject to consents) and create a wonderful semi rural home just a short distance from Milnthorpe and transport/road links. Available with no onward chain.
Following water damage in December 2022, the property does require internal repair works.
