Property Description
Homesford Cottage represents a rare and exciting freehold opportunity to acquire a large character property comprising three self-contained holiday apartments, along with spacious two bedroomed owners accommodation and in addition an attractive two storey stone built property split into 2 x one bedroomed self contained units. The property was successfully was run as a holiday-let cottage business for many years and has now recently become vacant. In our opinion, if the property were to be let as individual units based on AST contracts, subject to necessary planning and improvements, we would estimate a combined rental income in the region of £40,000 to £45,000 per annum. The former business occupies a strong location for tourism on the edge of the Peak District National Park and benefits from stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Outside to the rear of the property there is a split level garden with far reaching views, which includes terraced seating.
