Character cottage with large garden, garage and countryside views — ready to personalise..
No onward chain; freehold period cottage
Occupying a large plot on the edge of Colne Engaine, this period semi-detached cottage combines character features with modern comforts. Exposed timbers, a brick fireplace and flagstone terraces give strong period charm, while underfloor heating to both floors and double glazing add contemporary comfort. The layout suits families or those working from home: a ground-floor room currently used as a study could serve as a fourth bedroom.
The well-planted, south-facing rear garden and sun terrace provide a private space for entertaining and take full advantage of countryside views across the Colne valley. Driveway parking and an attached single garage with power offer useful vehicle storage, and additional outbuildings have electricity connected. The property is offered freehold and with no onward chain.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the property is served by a private drainage system. The house was constructed before 1900 and, while presented well, will appeal most to buyers who value period character and are comfortable with maintenance typical of older homes. EPC rating D and Council Tax Band E reflect running costs that may be higher than newer builds.
This home will suit buyers seeking a rural village location with excellent outdoor space and village amenities close by. It also offers scope for modest updating to personalise fixtures or finishes while retaining the cottage character and generous square footage.
