Three-bedroom cottage with garage and garden, ideal for families seeking village convenience and character.
Three bedrooms in a compact 528 sqft period cottage
A characterful three-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage in Alphington, set within a conservation area and close to local schools, shops and commuter links. The house retains period features and offers a long lounge/diner, practical kitchen and useful garage with rear access. The enclosed, well-stocked garden includes a wooden summer house currently used as a workshop/office — attractive for those wanting outdoor space and home-working options.
Built before 1900 with cob walls and double glazing, the property is compact (about 528 sqft) and suits buyers seeking village living rather than large, modern space. Heating is provided by mains gas with room heaters and a wall-mounted boiler; the EPC is D and Council Tax Band D. The layout includes ground-floor shower facilities plus an upstairs bathroom area off bedroom one, and three bedrooms on the first floor.
There are clear maintenance items: exterior gutters show wear, the cottage has dated finishes in places and will repay updating and ongoing upkeep typical of older cob construction. The home is freehold and placed in an affluent area with good broadband and average local services, making it a sensible choice for families wanting convenience and a period feel or buyers prepared to invest in sympathetic improvements.
Overall, this is a small, character cottage with practical outbuildings and garden space — best suited to a family or purchaser looking for a village property with renovation potential rather than a turnkey, modern home.
