Character cottage with countryside outlook and refurbishment potential.
3 bedrooms with countryside views to the rear
Freehold, sold at auction on 12 December 2025
Requires modernisation and energy-efficiency upgrades
System-built walls assumed uninsulated — insulation likely needed
Oil-fired boiler and radiators; back boiler linked to wood burner
Front and rear gardens, gated driveway for two cars
Timber/steel workshop with power; greenhouse footings in place
Slow local broadband; low crime and no flood risk
Tucked down a quiet no-through lane in Piddlehinton, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers rural outlooks and genuine scope for improvement. Backing onto open fields, it will appeal to buyers seeking countryside views and a project to personalise. The property is offered for sale by auction on 12 December 2025 and is sold freehold.
Internally the layout is straightforward: sitting room with an open fireplace/wood burner, compact kitchen with larder cupboard, ground-floor bathroom and three first-floor bedrooms. The house is from the mid-1950s and currently needs modernisation throughout — ideal for someone wanting to refurbish to modern standards and add value.
Outside there are private front and rear gardens, gated off-road parking for two cars and a timber/steel-clad workshop with power. The rear garden opens directly onto fields, providing a peaceful rural setting and room for modest landscaping or a greenhouse (footings in place).
Practical points: the property has oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators and secondary glazing; walls are system-built with assumed no insulation and renovation will likely need energy-efficiency upgrades. Broadband speeds are reported as slow locally. There is no flood risk and crime levels are low. Buyers should note this is a renovation project and the sale will be by auction, which suits buyers ready to proceed on a defined timetable.
