Step into the charm of yesteryear with this delightful 1890s stone cottage in the heart of Quorn. With its classic railway worker style and solid “good bones,” this two-bedroom home offers character, history, and an exciting opportunity for the next chapter.
Lovingly updated since 2007, the cottage has seen various renovations over the years and now features all modern essentials – mains power, water, septic, and solar panels. A willy-willy and storm in 2024 led to the installation of a brand-new roof and solar system, giving the property a fresh start. The kitchen, impacted during the storm, has been cleared and is now a blank canvas, ready for you to design and install your dream space.
