Chain-free two-bedroom Victorian cottage with courtyard garden, ideal for first-time buyers..
Chain free Victorian cottage with period character
This compact two-bedroom Victorian cottage offers a genuine village lifestyle in Clophill with practical commuter links. The house is chain free and arranged over two floors, providing a cosy living room, separate dining room and a light kitchen opening to a small rear lobby and bathroom. Upstairs are two characterful bedrooms; the main benefits from fitted wardrobes either side of a fireplace.
Outside is a private courtyard garden that catches the sun and includes an outbuilding with electricity and power — useful as storage, a workshop or home office. Broadband speeds are fast and the location is in a very affluent, peaceful village with good primary schools nearby and straightforward road and rail connections to larger towns.
The property is small (about 601 sq ft) and retains period features but has practical drawbacks to note: the solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, the double glazing was installed before 2002, and some internal finishes (carpet and dated fixtures) show wear and may need updating. Parking is on-street. These factors mean this home suits buyers looking to personalise and improve an affordable village cottage rather than those seeking a turnkey family house.
For first-time buyers or downsizers prioritising location, character and a manageable renovation project, this cottage represents good value in a desirable setting. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, garden and village ambience in person.
