Description
Located on Westcourt on the edge of the village of Burbage, Folly Cottage is an unlisted three bedroom property under a thatch roof.
The house is now in need of full restoration throughout but at just under 1600 square feet, already has a great footprint and is sat on a large plot of c0.75 acres.
The property offers the incoming purchaser the opportunity to restore and extend the current shell, or alternatively create a brand new home (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).
Outside
Accessed via a shared driveway, the property sits on a plot of c0.75 acres. Given the size of the plot, there is ample space to create a parking area with garaging (STPP) and still be left with plenty of space for formal gardens.
The garden is all laid to lawn with a great selection of mature trees and shrubs, offering a blank canvas to create something truly special.
