3 bed cottage for sale

Fishermans Cottage, Blakemere SY13

Open 9am-9pm, 7 Days A Week!

A rather unique opportunity to acquire not one, but two charming cottages, set within a peaceful rural position near Blakemere Lake, just a short distance from the ever-popular market town of Whitchurch.

Known as 1 & 2 Fisherman’s Cottage, this pair of characterful homes offer a highly versatile setup, perfectly suited to multi-generational living, but perhaps most notably presenting a compelling opportunity for investors or those seeking a lifestyle purchase with strong holiday let or rental income potential. Whether utilised as short-term holiday accommodation, long-term rentals, or a combination of both, the flexibility here is a real standout feature.

Both properties enjoy their own sense of space and privacy, whilst sharing a delightful setting surrounded by open countryside-an idyllic backdrop that only enhances their appeal to the growing staycation market.

The accommodation is well laid out, with Number One offering a cosy and manageable one-bedroom arrangement, ideal for a single let or holiday retreat, whilst Number Two provides more generous proportions, including flexible reception space and additional bedrooms-perfect for larger groups or family occupancy. Both cottages retain a warmth and charm that hints at their history, yet equally present an exciting opportunity for a new owner to enhance, add value, and truly maximise their income potential over time.

Outside, electric gates open onto a spacious driveway providing ample parking, along with a lawned garden and a charming courtyard seating area positioned between the cottages-perfect for guests or residents alike to enjoy the slower pace of rural living.

The location strikes a fine balance-peaceful and tucked away, yet within easy reach of Whitchurch, which offers a wide range of everyday amenities, schooling, and rail links connecting to larger centres-further strengthening its appeal for both tenants and holidaymakers.

Offered for sale with no upward chain, this is a rare and intriguing opportunity, particularly well suited to cash buyers or investors seeking a distinctive property with genuine scope for income generation and future growth.

I.D & Money Laundering Checks

Once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Dourish & Day estate agents we are required to complete id verification checks on all buyers and to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends. Whilst this is the responsibility of Dourish & Day we may use the services of MoveButler, to verify Clients’ identity. This is not a credit check and therefore will have no effect on your credit history. You agree for us to complete these checks, and the cost of these checks is £30.00 inc. VAT per buyer. This is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.
