This characterful five-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends period features with contemporary living across an extended, versatile layout. Set on a large plot in the sought-after semi-rural village of Emley, the house offers generous reception rooms, a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite and a landscaped private garden with summer house — ideal for families or those who work from home.
Practical modern upgrades include double glazing (installed post-2002), solar panels with export income and an EV charging point, while mains gas central heating and fast broadband support everyday convenience and commuting. The gated cobbled driveway provides secure off-street parking and easy access to local amenities, good schools and the motorway network.
Buyers should note the property’s stone construction (pre-1900) likely has no cavity insulation and may benefit from targeted thermal improvements; there have been structural alterations and relevant paperwork is available. Also be aware there are planning applications on nearby properties — check local planning portals before purchase.
Overall this is a spacious, well-presented family home that combines character features (exposed stone, beams, inglenook fireplace) with practical modern additions. It will suit a family seeking village life with good commuting links, or buyers wanting a roomy home with scope for energy-efficiency upgrades.
