A thrilling chance to own this 2/3 cottage with vast south-facing garden, parking, plenty of potential, planned expansion, and located excellently on the borders of the appealing localities of Broadway and Horton.
An captivating and distinctive prospect to purchase this two/three bedroom residence with expansion permit and situated on a delightful plot on the outskirts of the always in-demand villages of Broadway and Horton with south-facing garden and parking. In summary, the property offers an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, additional sitting room/third bedroom, and family bathroom on the ground floor, with two bedrooms on the first floor. Honey Cottage is being introduced to the market for the first time in more than 20 years, highlighting what a marvelous home it has been. Additionally, in 2021, a planning consent was sanctioned for the demolition of the property’s single level area and its replacement with a two-story extension – particulars can be found on Somerset Councils website using reference 21/02538/HOU. The centerpiece of the abode must be the expansive yet cozy kitchen/dining/family room which offers views of the front and rear gardens. It serves as a fabulous entertainment space and a serene backdrop for relaxation throughout the seasons. The sitting room provides another reception space but could also be used as an additional bedroom or study, depending on one’s requirements. The first floor comprises two double bedrooms both served by the family bathroom. There is evident potential for reconfiguration and given the property’s grounds, possibility for further extension (subject to requisite consents). We strongly suggest those seeking a manageable project and those aiming to place themselves close to commendable communication links and local amenities to inspect.
