This 19th‑century semi‑detached cottage combines genuine period character with practical family space across five bedrooms and two reception rooms. Exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces (one with a bread oven), window seats and multi‑fuel stoves give the house an authentic rural feel while double glazing and oil central heating provide everyday comfort. The layout is staggered with some low ceilings and small-to-medium rooms consistent with the age and style of the property.
Outdoor space is a strong selling point: two enclosed courtyard gardens with patios and artificial grass, one arranged around a hot tub area, plus a private driveway for multiple vehicles and a decent plot overall. The former garage has been split into a fitness room and storage room, offering flexible ancillary space though it is not a conventional garage any longer.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property sits in a medium flood‑risk zone and uses oil-fired heating, and some rooms are compact due to the cottage layout. Local schooling is mixed nearby (some primary schools rated Good, while others and the local secondary report Requires Improvement). Broadband and crime levels are average; mobile signal is excellent in this rural village setting.
For a family seeking village living with period charm and flexible space, this home offers immediate character and usable outdoor areas, but buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and take flood risk and heating type into account when assessing running costs and insurance.
