Property Insight
Ensum Brown are delighted to offer for sale this semi-detached cottage in the popular village of Litlington. This property offers an excellent renovation opportunity and has been priced to reflect the works required. Currently, this cottage boasts 2 reception rooms, 3 bedrooms, a generous rear garden, air source heat pump heating, and scope to extend subject to renewed planning permission.

On approach, this semi-detached cottage offers a beautiful frontage. The price of this home reflects the work required to bring it to standard, including a degree of re-rendering and addressing damp, to which a report and quotation is available. Further internal cosmetic updates are also required but offer huge scope for adding value. There is also the opportunity to create a rear extension, with the property having previously obtained planning permission for a first floor extension, which has since lapsed.

The front door opens up into a versatile space, benefiting from a window to the front and beautiful period features. There are exposed beams, a large open brick fireplace, carpets, sconce lighting, and room for furniture. A door leads through to a lovely lounge area, boasting period features including a large inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and exposed beams and brickwork. There is a window to the front, carpets, sconce lighting, a warm comfortable atmosphere, and space for lounge and storage furniture.

Through to the kitchen, this is a lovely bright space, with a wide range of base and wall units, laminate worktops, tiled floors and splashbacks, a window to the rear aspect, a one and a half ceramic sink, pendant lighting and spotlights, integrated storage, an integrated oven, hob and extractor fan, and space for a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a dining table. The utility room offers further space for appliances as well as access through to the rear garden via double sliding doors.

The bathroom is also found on the ground floor, but could be moved to the first floor if desired. It currently comprises a bath, a WC, a hand wash basin and a heated towel rail.

To the first floor, this property continues to offer attractive period features with 3 bedrooms. Depending on requirements, this could be extended or converted into a good-sized 2 bedroom property with an upstairs bathroom. The bedrooms each enjoy carpets, pretty period windows, pendant lighting, integrated storage and room for furniture.

Outside, to the rear, the garden is an excellent size, full of cottage plants, flowers and climbers. It is fully enclosed and is laid half to lawn and half to paved patio, offering a lovely sunny spot to enjoy coffee on a morning or meals on a warm evening. The garden also benefits from a large summerhouse offering versatile usage, and a shed to the very rear.
