3 bed detached house for sale

Tolgate Cottage, Sutton Road, Tamworth B78

Please quote PB0661.... This substantial (approximately 2000 square foot), 3 bedroom rural property, sits on approximately 0.9 acres, which includes an orchard. The property enjoys views of the rolling countryside, and is surrounded by farmland, yet there is easy access to the shopping, amenities and services of Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and Tamworth. The property, in brief, has many original features, and includes two reception rooms, study/home-office, a large breakfast kitchen, conservatory, two ground-floor bedrooms with their own wet/bathrooms, and a third bedroom with bathroom to the first floor. The property is in an idyllic location and does require some renovation and improvements. This is a rare opportunity, perhaps for a family seeking a project or a property developer, to make the most of this property's potential.
