A double fronted Cotswold stone cottage in need of renovation in an elevated location at popular France Lynch with two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a large garden with a good outlook over the valley beyond.
Jym Crow Cottage is an attractive double fronted detached character property situated in a lovely elevated location at France Lynch. This position is very much part of the thriving local community, and allows for a superb outlook over the valley beyond to countryside. The property is built using traditional methods under a pitched roof with accommodation arranged over two floors. It is in need of modernising and updating but offers a prospective buyer a unique opportunity to renovate a property to their own standards.
An entrance hall, two reception rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and conservatory are on the ground floor. Two bedrooms are on the first floor, with a useful attic at the top of the house. Every window enjoys a good outlook, and the property is available with no onward chain.
The property benefits from a good garden that makes the most of the open outlook over the valley. A gated path leads from the lane into the garden. The property backs onto the lane, and therefore fronts onto the garden and the view. The garden stretches away from the front of the house with a path leading down to the bottom of the plot. One side of the path is paid to lawn, and the other side is gravelled. There are mature shrubs and planting in the garden, and a greenhouse.
