Local primary schools are rated Good; secondary provision nearby has mixed Ofsted outcomes. The small plot and compact room sizes keep garden maintenance straightforward.
Important facts and drawbacks: the property was built before 1900 and walls are stone with assumed no cavity insulation, so heating may be less efficient than modern builds despite mains gas boiler and radiators. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Tenure and council tax band are not provided. The accommodation is best suited to those who value character over large modern living spaces and who are comfortable with potential upgrade works such as wall insulation or window replacement.
