Nestled in the picturesque village of Buckland, this detached, Grade II listed, thatched cottage will offer its new owners the chance to restore and extend, creating a wonderful opportunity for a family home in a desirable village.

The property currently comprises an entrance hallway providing access to the dual-aspect living room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms.

Plans have previously been drawn up and approved for the cottage to be restored back to two floors, with an extension to the rear. The groundworks for this have been undertaken to the rear of the property and the base has been laid for the future extension.
Once transformed, the cottage will provide a lovely sitting room keeping the inglenook fireplace that is already a feature of the property. There will be a wonderful open-plan kitchen/diner providing views of the rear garden, with bi-fold doors providing access to a patio area. There will be three double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. Externally there is driveway parking to the side of the property, which leads to a good-sized garage. To the rear of the garage is a studio which can be used for additional accommodation as it benefits from an en suite shower room, all on separate utilities, allowing for the renovation work to be carried out.

Further plans have been drawn up, but not yet approved, for the cottage to be further extended and to provide, three double bedrooms, with the principal rooms having En-suites and the third room having an adjacent bathroom. The living accommodation would be almost open plan, with the sitting area having a central wood burner, with steps leading up to the large open plan kitchen and dining area with adjacent utility room. The garage would be relocated to provide additional driveway parking yet retain the one-bedroom annexe. The garden would feature a lawn area with courtyard garden.

This is a fabulous opportunity to buy a home in a desirable village and create your own Grand Design.
