Property description
Lamberts is a pretty stone semi-detached cottage situated in the centre of Chawleigh, a short walk from the Community shop and the pub. The property has been in the same ownership for the last 75 years and is of traditional stone construction under a slate roof with uPVC double glazed windows throughout. Internally Lamberts offers well laid out two bedroom accommodation with a Sitting Room, Kitchen and a downstairs Bathroom, all of which would now benefit from some general modernisation and improvement including re-wiring, re-plumbing, re-plastering and the installation of a new Kitchen and Bathroom. The property also has the scope for further extension subject to necessary planning permissions and building regulations. Outside and to the front of the cottage is a small front garden, whilst at the rear there is a larger Rear Garden and an attached Paddock extending to approximately ¼ of an acre, which could be utilised for many different uses including an allotment garden or a small paddock for livestock.
