This Grade II Listed four-bedroom semi-detached cottage in St Stephens blends original period character with recent sympathetic updating. The house offers traditional features — exposed stone, sash-proportioned windows and fireplaces — alongside practical modern upgrades such as double glazing to the front, underfloor heated bathrooms and high-capacity hot water via a Sunamp unit.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a double-aspect lounge, separate dining room, L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs are four generous bedrooms (one en suite) and a well-appointed family bathroom. The property sits on a slightly elevated plot with an enclosed rear garden, patio and a recently re-lined pond, plus off-street parking and additional side parking.
Notable positives include planning permission (PA23/04605) for a carport designed to accommodate PV panels and battery storage, fast FTTP broadband, excellent mobile signal and convenient access to local schools and amenities. The house will be sold at auction, so buyers should be prepared for that process and the practicalities of buying a listed building.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II Listed which will restrict external and some internal alterations and could complicate works. There is a pedestrian right of access crossing the rear in favour of the neighbouring property. Heating/energy systems are a mix of mains gas boiler with radiator heating, Wi‑Fi controlled electric radiators and Sunamp hot‑water integration; buyers should verify the current setup. EPC rating D and listed status mean further energy improvements may be constrained.
