Set on an elevated plot in tranquil countryside, this 19th-century stone cottage offers striking open views front and rear and a generous mature garden. The house retains period character—exposed beams and a tiled fireplace in the lounge—while parts have been modernised, including a refitted bathroom with roll-top bath. Off-street parking and a driveway add practical appeal for rural living.
The accommodation is compact (approximately 726 sq ft) across multiple storeys with three bedrooms and useful outbuild/store space. Services include mains water and electricity, with heating from a back boiler; drainage is to a shared septic tank. Broadband speeds are reported fast and local crime levels are very low, making the property suitable for those seeking a peaceful rural base or a downsizing move.
This is a renovation-property sold via auction. It requires further improvement and some modernisation to meet contemporary standards; the EPC is F. There is potential to reintroduce a former connecting doorway into the adjoining terrace house (previously opened up) if a buyer secures the neighbouring lot, presenting scope for expansion subject to consents.
Buyers should note the sale is by auction: guide price bidding now, a reserve may be up to 10% higher and can change until the auction. Successful purchasers pay an administration fee (£2,000 + VAT, total £2,400). Verify tenure and shared septic arrangements with your legal adviser prior to bidding.
