Wyke Cottage is a charming four-bedroom semi-detached home set in just over an acre on Tilburstow Hill Road, offering wide south-facing gardens and uninterrupted countryside views. The principal living spaces flow from an impressive drawing room with inglenook-style fireplace into a generous L-shaped kitchen/dining room with bi-fold doors onto a paved terrace — a natural entertaining layout for family life.
The grounds include a fully independent one-bedroom annexe, a detached home office/studio with en-suite, and substantial gated parking with outbuildings. The plot’s scale and privacy make the property suitable for multi-generational living, home-working, or running a small home business from the studio.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the house sits on solid brick (assumed uninsulated) and dates from the 1950s–60s, so further thermal improvements may be needed. Broadband speeds are slow and drainage is private, which may not suit households needing fast internet or preferring mains sewer connections. Council tax is above average for the area.
Overall this is a versatile rural family property with strong outdoor space and a separate annexe, ideal for buyers seeking countryside living close to local rail links and village amenities, and willing to invest in energy upgrades and modern services where desired.
