Key Features

- Detached Edwardian house requiring complete renovation
Description
A detached Edwardian house which is in need of complete renovation, offering the potential for buyers to create a stunning home in an elevated position overlooking the church. The property has been completely stripped out and is therefore not habitable in its current condition.
The original building features brick elevations beneath a pitched slate covered roof, with the previous layout featuring the following accommodation;
Ground floor - Living Room, Kitchen, Cloakroom, Hall
First floor - 3 Bedrooms and a Shower Room.
The total internal area is approximately 1000ft² / 94m².
It is understood that the property is not listed, but it does lie within the Caldecote Conservation Area.
To the rear of the house are a collection of outbuildings including timber storage sheds, and 4 bay pole barn.
To the north west corner of the L-shaped site is understood to be the remnants of a second property, known as 'Bieldy Bungalow', for which only part of the chimney breast remains on site.
The generous plot features large areas of garden, mainly laid to grass but also featuring a number of trees, shrubs and plants, and is a true feature of the property.
The current owner commenced renovation works, including stripping out the property and installing Helical-style supports to internal and external walls within the property. However a lack of time means that the opportunity now exists for a new buyer to undertake the works and complete the exciting project.
