Summary - 1 Endcot, Upper Street, Stratford St. Mary CO7 6JW
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Chain-free four-bedroom cottage with 180ft south-facing garden and scope to modernise and extend..
Chain-free pair of cottages totalling c.1,500 sq ft
Set in the sought-after village of Stratford St Mary, 1 & 2 Endcot offers a rare plot: about 1,500 sq ft of combined living space on roughly 0.3 acres with a south-facing garden stretching some 180 ft. Currently arranged as two semi-detached cottages (one 1-bed, one 3-bed), the pair is chain free and presents clear scope to modernise, reconfigure into a single family home and extend into the deep rear garden (subject to consent). Ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile coverage suit home working or streaming needs.
The fabric is traditional solid brick with rendered elevations and double glazing throughout. Heating is mixed: No.1 relies on electric storage heaters while No.2 uses an oil boiler to radiators — worth noting for running costs and any planned refurbishment. Energy Performance for both cottages is rated E and the construction era (c.1900–1929) means external wall insulation is likely absent; buyers should budget for thermal improvements and general modernisation.
Practical conveniences include ample off-street parking to the rear, mains water, electricity and drainage, and a low council tax band. The village location provides countryside tranquillity with shops, a farm shop, pub/restaurant options and good primary and secondary schooling nearby. Flood risk in the area is medium — a material consideration for insurance and garden use planning.
For a family seeking character with room to grow, or a purchaser wanting a renovation project with development potential, this property offers strong upside. Be prepared for refurbishment work (heating upgrades, insulation, cosmetic modernisation) and investigate planning potential for extension before committing.
