VIRTUAL 360 TOUR AVAILABLE – This delightful three bedroom detached character cottage offers a wonderful opportunity for those looking to create their dream home, BRIMMING WITH POTENTIAL for improvement and extension (STPP). It enjoys VIEWS OVER FIELDS TO THE REAR and offers two reception rooms, two kitchens, shower and a LARGE GARDEN PLOT of around 0.15 acres.

This lovely cottage is set on a generous plot and enjoys a sought after southerly aspect with breathtaking rural views. It has ample off road parking and is in a tranquil yet convenient village location. A rare find for those seeking space, charm and endless possibilities.

Location – Oakthorpe is perfectly placed for all the leisure pursuits that the National Forest offers, including Conkers, Hicks Lodge and Moira Furnace. There is excellent commuter links into Ashby, Burton on Trent and Swadlincote, with the M42 a stones throw away. A former mining village with a strong local community, you will enjoy an excellent local village primary school, village shop and more local facilities at nearby Measham about 1 mile away.
This is the first time in a generation that this cottage is available for sale having been in the same family for many years. Originally two cottages, it now offers fantastic potential for extension, improvement and the possibility for demolition and reinstatement, subject to planning permission.

On the ground floor you will find two reception rooms alongside two kitchens, two side porches and a shower room/cloaks. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a large family bathroom.
