2 bedroom cottage for sale

A very attractive detached two bedroomed cottage for renovation. The property is situated within the Eakring village conservation area.

There is scope to extend and/or build above the rear single storey area and the brick and pantile outbuilding has potential for extension or conversion, both subject to Planning Permission.

The village of Eakring is conveniently situated within easy commute distance of Nottingham, Newark, Mansfield and Southwell, and has a school bus service to Southwell. This very pretty village is set in rolling countryside and natural landscape beauty. Approached by country lanes, the village, offers miles of surrounding countryside for walks and leisure. St Andrew's Church is a focal point and a local landmark of the village. There is also a village hall and a village pub, the Savile Arms.

The property is constructed with rendered masonry elevations under a clay pantiled roof. The chimney stack has been repointed and two disused chimneys capped off and ventilated. A new main chimney pot has been replaced and fitted with a removable cap to enable future use if required.
