1 bedroom house

Description

Sure to appeal to those looking for a country retreat, this one bedroom detached cottage offers privacy and seclusion with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Coming to the market for the first time in over 60 years, Fairfield Cottage offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to buy a country cottage in a peaceful location.

The property requires full modernisation throughout, though offers significant potential with scope to extend and improve, subject to obtaining the necessary consent.

The cottage does not currently have a fitted kitchen or a separate bathroom and with limited space available, prospective purchasers may wish to consider the space offered by the adjoining barn, which has potential for conversion. This would of course be subject to planning permission being granted.

*

The property has mains water and mains electricity, though there is no septic tank or mains drainage and so a modern waste management system will need to be installed. The property also benefits from Solar panels.

Access to Fairfield Cottage is via the Holy Trinity Church car park and then through an adjoining field. We have been advised by the Vendors that there is a vehicular right of way through the field, though any prospective purchasers should be aware that the cottage does not currently have off road parking.

The property has walled gardens of around 0.15 - 0.18 acres.

Situation

The property is located in the quiet village of Binegar which has an ancient church and a public house. There is an excellent Village Shop and Post Office in the neighbouring village of Gurney Slade.

The nearby City of Wells is the smallest city in England and offers a range of shopping facilities including a high proportion of independent shops and boutiques, banks, restaurants, public houses, cinema and churches. The stunning market square holds a farmer's market on Wednesday and Saturday.
Binegar is well situated for access to Bristol (17 miles) and Bath (16 miles) with excellent access to the M4/M5, mainline railway stations, and the A303 dual carriageway.
