Semi-detached house for sale

Linkinhorne PL17

Auction guide price £100,000 - £125,000.

Secret Garden Cottage has been in the same family for over 100 years and was once a charming stone built character property that offered well proportioned living accommodation throughout and now requires extensive renovation or redevelopment to once again become a wonderful family home.

Having generous mature gardens to the rear elevation and ample space to park multiple vehicles to the front elevation this is a wonderful property that is situated in a peaceful and tranquil location.

The cottage is currently of a good proportion, but there is the potential to extend and increase this subject to obtaining any necessary planning permissions.

Secret Garden Cottage has not been lived in for many years and all services will need to be installed during the redevelopment of the property.
