1 Bedroom Cottage, Cheval Cottage, 27B the Square, Latimer, Buckinghamshire HP5 1TY

Overview

Hammer Price Homes are delighted to present for sale by online auction this vacant & chain free 1 bedroom Cottage in the pretty and much sought after village of Latimer in rural Buckinghamshire.

This is a very rare opportunity to buy a unique period property in the private & quaint residential area known as the square which houses just 5 properties, one of which is the converted old village hall which dates back to 1600.

Cheval Cottage is pleasantly situated with its front door opening on to the delightful communal lawns of the square whilst to the rear it looks out across the wonderful Chiltern Hills. The Cottage has undergone some changes with the latest reconfiguration that included: the alteration from a two bedroom accommodation to a one bedroom, relocation of the living room and kitchen, the addition of the conservatory and the redesigned private paved gardens, taking place in the early 1990’s.

The accommodation arranged over one floor briefly comprises of: entrance hallway, large bedroom with a connecting dressing room that leads into a bathroom. Across the other side of the hallway you will find the kitchen, living room and a spacious & airey conservatory.

The accommodation is heated by night storage heaters, please note that there is currently no gas supply to the property. The roof space provides ample additional storage space.

To the outside there are pleasantly designed paved gardens with access to the detached garage and driveway providing off street parking for several vehicles.

The property provides considerable scope and opportunity to reconfigure & refurbish and would be ideal for those looking for a modernisation project. Please note that there is no opportunity to extend into the original roof space though there is potentially the ability to extend beyond the current extension though planning permission would need to be sought.
