Tucked on Front Street in Cockfield, this two-bedroom cottage offers character, usable living space and strong local amenities—an appealing starter home or downsizer property. The house benefits from double glazing, an oil-fired boiler and a garage, while fast broadband and nearby good-rated schools suit working households and home learners.
The interior has original features and a cosy layout but does need updating: there are signs of damp in places and the living spaces would benefit from redecoration and modernising. The stone walls were built without insulation (assumed), so improving thermal performance would be a sensible early project; heating runs on oil which may be costlier than mains gas.
Outside space is small but low-maintenance, with a rear yard and a metal gazebo for sheltered use, plus kerbside parking and a side garage. The cottage is freehold and sits in a small-town setting with easy access to local shops, a pub, doctors and good primary and secondary schools.
Priced at £85,000, this home represents value for someone willing to carry out modest modernisation and insulation work. It’s best suited to first-time buyers or those downsizing who want a character property to personalise, or investors open to a low-entry renovation project.
