Both still retain some nice character features, generous sized gardens and fine countryside views. In terms of accommodation each cottage comprises three bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. This provides an excellent opportunity for those looking to either create a home with a separate letting unit/holiday let, for dual occupation living or potentially converting the two cottages into one whole dwelling (subject to planning)

SERVICES
Heating- Number 1 has oil central heating. Number two has no current central heating.
Drainage- Private septic tank shared between the two cottages.
Electric- Mains for both
Water- Private water supply for both.

AGENT NOTE
We would like to advise that the current private spring water supply is from the neighbouring farm which is in the same ownership. Any buyer would be required to install a new borehole for each property once the sale has completed, however can use the existing spring supply in the interim if required. The position and cost of the new boreholes have already been obtained by the current owner and can be shared with any interested party.

We also advise the buyer will be required to take over the existing boundaries and maintain field boundaries in a stockproof condition.

We suggest it could be difficult to obtain a mortgage for either property in their current condition.
