This charming detached cottage combines period character with recent sympathetic renovation, creating a comfortable home for family living or downsizing. Exposed beams, fireplaces and a galleried landing give the interior strong character while the large kitchen-diner and three reception rooms provide flexible living space for everyday life and entertaining.
Set in a semi-rural village location, the house benefits from countryside views, a decent plot with landscaped rear garden and a private driveway plus detached garage. Oakthorpe offers a sought-after primary school, local shop and footpaths, yet the property is commutable to nearby cities via the A511, A444 and M42.
Practicalities are straightforward: freehold tenure, three bedrooms with an ensuite, LPG gas heating and UPVC double glazing throughout. The home has been recently renovated and presented to a high standard, but the Energy Performance Certificate sits at band D and broadband speeds in the village are slow — important for those who work from home.
Overall this property will suit families seeking characterful, move-in-ready cottage living in a quiet village with good schools and transport links. Buyers wanting ultra-fast connectivity or the highest energy efficiency should factor in potential upgrades.
