High flood risk — buyers should seek specialist advice and insurance quotes
Leasehold with a very long term remaining (from 1862) — check terms
Stone walls likely uninsulated; scope for energy-efficiency improvements
Mains gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown)
Small-to-average rooms and compact overall footprint typical of period cottages
This stone-built next-to-end cottage offers characterful living in a semi-rural village setting, arranged over four floors and presented in good decorative order. The home benefits from a pleasant rear outlook over communal green space and lies on the verge of open countryside — ideal for walkers or anyone seeking a peaceful outlook. Offered with no onward chain, it suits buyers who want a relatively quick move.
Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown) and fast local broadband. The layout provides a roomy lounge, a good-sized kitchen/diner and useful lower-ground storage and utility spaces. The second-floor attic room has long been used as a bedroom, giving flexibility for a home office, guest room or main bedroom, subject to compliance checks.
Important points to note: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and is a leasehold (very long lease remaining). The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the attic bedroom may not meet current building-regulation standards — any purchaser should satisfy themselves on flood protection, insulation and conversion compliance. Room sizes are modest overall, reflecting the cottage’s Victorian origins.
Overall, this cottage will appeal to first-time buyers or those seeking a compact, character home near countryside and village amenities. It offers immediate charm and scope for targeted improvements (insulation, flood mitigation and any regulatory upgrades) to secure longer-term comfort and energy efficiency.
