Tucked away in Hurstbourne Tarrant, this brick-and-flint cottage blends original character with practical modern updates. The dual-aspect sitting room centres on an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm, inviting family space. The galley kitchen, separate utility and a bright principal bedroom make everyday living straightforward.
A bespoke barn-style outbuilding adds tangible value: a double carport, storeroom and a fully insulated studio above, ideal as a home office or creative space (additional accommodation would require planning). The gated gravel driveway provides generous off-road parking for two cars and easy access to village amenities and nearby mainline stations.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired so running and maintenance costs (including the oil tank) apply. The property sits in a conservation area and is split over two title numbers, which may affect future works or sales. Walls are traditional flint/brick with assumed no insulation, so there is scope — and likely cost — to improve thermal efficiency.
Practical history is transparent: following a one-off water ingress in 2014, preventative drainage measures were fitted and no further issues reported. Offered chain-free, this home will suit families seeking a characterful countryside base with scope to modernise energy performance and maximise the stable annexe space.
