5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in a detached stone cottage
Set on the sought-after Bromyard Downs, Withy Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom detached stone home that blends traditional character with practical modern improvements. Exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and a conservatory/garden room give the house a warm, rural feel while double glazing and a contemporary kitchen add everyday comfort.
The property sits on a large, well-stocked plot with private front and rear gardens, productive vegetable beds, greenhouse, patio and off-street parking for two plus a garage with light and power. Bedrooms are generous and the layout includes a large utility/boot room and two bathrooms—suitable for family life or flexible letting use.
Important considerations: the main heating is an oil-fired boiler and there are electric heaters in several rooms; the property uses a private drainage system (septic), and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated as built before 1900. Some ceilings are lower in parts of the house, which contributes to cottage character but may feel snug for some buyers. The location is peaceful and remote—excellent mobile and fast broadband—but limited immediate public transport.
This cottage will appeal to families seeking space and rural charm, buyers wanting a character home with gardens, or investors looking for a strong holiday-let or long-let proposition in a tranquil Downs setting. Budget for ongoing fuel and drainage costs and consider insulation upgrades to improve energy efficiency.
