Character home with garage, garden and central village convenience.
Detached 17th-century cottage with original exposed timbers
A charming 17th-century detached cottage offering genuine period character in the heart of Glemsford. Exposed timbers, leaded-light windows and an inglenook with multi-fuel stove give the principal sitting/dining room real atmosphere, while the kitchen has space for a range cooker and travertine flooring for a practical, cottage-style finish.
The house provides three bedrooms (one currently used as a study) and two bathrooms, including a recently fitted ground-floor shower room and a first-floor en-suite cloakroom. Practical outbuildings are a major plus: a double garage/utility/workshop, summer house with power, useful storage and a generous driveway provide convenient parking and workspace for hobbies or gardening.
The east-facing rear garden is thoughtfully landscaped with terraces, a raised koi pond under a wisteria-covered pergola, greenhouse and several fruit trees — attractive for families who want outdoor space without large maintenance demands. The property sits within the village centre, close to shops and local amenities, with good mobile signal and fast broadband for home working.
Notable points to consider: the house is unlisted but dates to about 1650 and lies in a conservation area, which may limit permitted changes. Services (mains water, drainage, electricity, gas heating) are connected but have not been tested. The internal footprint is modest for a three-bedroom cottage, and some rooms feel cosy rather than spacious. Local primary schools nearby have mixed Ofsted outcomes, so buyers with school-age children should check catchments carefully.
