No onward chain and a coveted village setting make this traditional stone cottage an appealing home for a growing family or buyers seeking character with space to improve. The house retains many period features — exposed stone walls, beams, an inglenook fireplace and flagstone flooring — that give rooms a warm, rustic feel. Two reception rooms and useful outbuildings add flexible living and storage space.
Outside there’s a large rear garden, greenhouse and shed plus a single garage and driveway parking — rare for cottages in the area. The property is freehold, sits in a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood, and benefits from mains gas heating and fast broadband. Ground-floor double doors and skylight bring natural light into the dining and kitchen areas.
The cottage was built before 1900 and shows an older finish throughout. The stone walls are assumed uninsulated and double glazing was installed before 2002, so upgrading insulation, windows and internal finishes would improve comfort and energy performance. The property presents clear scope for modernisation and possible extension (subject to planning) for anyone wanting to add value while retaining period charm.
Practical points to note: the sellers’ particulars advise services and appliances untested, measurements for guidance only, and prospective buyers should commission their own surveys. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no flooding risk, making the house a sensible purchase for family life in a quiet village location.
