Description
A rare opportunity to purchase a pair of semi-detached cottages situated along Out Elmstead Lane on the outskirts of this highly sought-after village, set within approximately 1.3 acres of land. The properties benefit from a new roof installed in 2024 and enjoy a picturesque setting, with a wooded area to the front and open fields to the rear. No.1 Digges Cottages is a three-bedroom home that has been partly renovated and offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to complete and personalise. No.2 Digges Cottage is a one-bedroom property requiring full refurbishment, presenting further potential for improvement or investment. Both cottages benefit from their own parking, private gardens, separate addresses and services, and are offered for sale together with vacant possession, making this an ideal prospect for multi-generational living, rental investment, or development potential to create one larger property, subject to all necessary consents.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
