From the outside, this semi-detached Swedish-style cottage oozes Scandinavian charm. The property is approached via a gravelled path, which winds through the front lawn to a traditional porch-covered entrance.

The ground floor comprises a generous sitting room, complete with a cosy wood-burning stove, as well as a kitchen and a handy utility room. A promising fixer-upper, renovation works are already underway, however, this floor remains a fairly blank canvas for you to make your mark.

The bathroom and first bedroom are situated at the front of the house, just off the hallway. With its own fireplace and gorgeous views of the hills, the bedroom could make the perfect guest room or home office with a bit of elbow grease.

Upstairs, both bedrooms benefit from stunning hillside views thanks to picturesque dormer windows. As with the accommodation downstairs, you’d have carte blanche to give these rooms a modern overhaul to suit your own tastes.

Outside, there are front and rear lawned gardens, ideal for a young family, plus two storage sheds and ample off-road parking.
