Positioned within the historic former RAF base at North Cotes, this two-bedroom former officers’ residence presents a rare and exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a project with exceptional potential. Occupying a generous plot, the property enjoys an attractive setting with strong kerb appeal and a sense of space that is increasingly hard to find. Requiring full refurbishment throughout, the house offers a superb canvas for modernisation and value enhancement. The well-proportioned interior begins with a spacious entrance hall leading to a large L-shaped lounge, providing excellent natural light and flexible living space. A separate dining room and breakfast kitchen create further scope for redesign, while a ground floor cloakroom adds convenience. Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an additional large cloakroom and storage room, offering potential for reconfiguration to suit contemporary living requirements. A particularly notable feature is the substantial brick and tile outbuilding, extending to over 50m², complete with its own private gated driveway. This highly unusual addition provides outstanding versatility, whether for workshop use, storage, home business purposes, or potential conversion (subject to necessary consents). Externally, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a splayed design, enclosed by fencing and complemented by mature trees. To the front, a long tarmac driveway leads to a detached brick garage, providing ample off-road parking. Combining character, space, and unique development potential, this is a compelling investment opportunity in a distinctive setting.
