plot for sale in Coldingham
'The Smiddy' presents a rare opportunity to purchase an exciting development opportunity within the heart of this popular coastal village. With plans in place to convert the former smiddy into a one bed two storey cottage, the finished project will have excellent scope as a commercial holiday let with a strong local trade from the local diving industry and holiday makers alike. The property enjoys coastal views to the rear, not to mention being within walking distance of the beach as well as local amenities. The initial renovations have been started with the building having been re-roofed, the first floor has been installed and the internal stud walls are in place.
