GENERAL COMMENTS

The location of Salem Cottage is very pleasant. Tucked away at the end of an unmade lane, the whole property enjoys complete privacy and a peaceful environment. The cottage enjoys a sunny aspect with gardens and grounds that extend to approximately half an acre. The cottage is in need of complete refurbishment but offers huge potential and there is scope to extend the property if required (subject to necessary consent). The current owners have started the renovations including the addition of modern night storage heaters in the reception rooms and bedrooms, addition of modern double glazing and some re-plastering. The kitchen and bathrooms need replacing. The large rear gardens are mainly lawn, enclosed within natural hedge boundaries and enjoys complete privacy. A driveway provides plenty of parking and there are two substantial outbuildings including an open fronted shed and block built building. The village is within close proximity as is the A30 for quick commuting throughout the county.
