A picture-postcard stone cottage set on a decent south-facing plot, this semi-detached home offers versatile living across multiple floors. The sitting room with a wood-burning stove, separate conservatory and a recently added loft bedroom with bathroom expand usable space while preserving period character. The garden looks out over open fields and woodland, ideal for outdoor enjoyment and quiet country views.
Practical features include a fitted kitchen, utility room, downstairs WC, a basement room and a detached garage/parking. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler with radiators and the windows are double glazed; council tax is described as low. The property’s solid stone walls and traditional construction give charm but are likely to need insulation upgrades to improve thermal efficiency.
Important considerations: the main fuel is oil (not a communal supply) so running costs may be higher than gas or mains alternatives. The loft room is a recent addition — buyers should confirm building-regulation compliance for loft conversions. The age and stone construction suggest limited wall insulation unless retrofitted; prospective buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements.
This house will suit buyers seeking a characterful village home with space for family life and hobbies, plus good access to riverside walks and countryside activities. It offers immediate charm and usable accommodation, with clear scope for targeted improvements to reduce running costs and increase long-term comfort.
