A sympathetically renovated two-bedroom semi-detached cottage offering authentic character with contemporary touches. The lounge retains an original open fire and cast-iron log burner, while the fitted kitchen and sun/dining room provide comfortable, modern living for a couple or downsizer. The garden is private and well-equipped for entertaining, including an outdoor bar, covered hot-tub space and large lawn backing onto open fields.
Practical strengths include generous off-street parking for two to three cars, double glazing (post-2002), mains services and a freehold title. The property sits in a quiet hamlet setting with pleasing countryside views, low local crime and good access to nearby village amenities and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the house is a solid-brick, pre-1900 build with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls, and mains heating is limited—portable electric heaters are used in most rooms with wood logs as the main fuel for the burner. Broadband speeds are reported very slow and mobile signal only average. EPC rating is currently TBC; potential purchasers may wish to assess insulation and heating improvements.
Overall this bijou cottage suits buyers seeking characterful rural living with entertaining outdoor space and parking, but it will particularly appeal to those prepared to accept or invest in improving heating and insulation for lower running costs.
