This three-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits in the heart of Hempnall village and blends period character with practical family living. The dual-aspect sitting room, complete with an impressive fireplace and wood-burning stove, creates a warm, welcoming hub. A separate dining room and a well-equipped kitchen with breakfast area give flexible ground-floor space for everyday life and entertaining. A ground-floor shower room plus a contemporary first-floor family bathroom add convenience for households and guests.
Externally, the property benefits from a gravelled driveway with ample off-street parking and mature gardens that include a terrace and raised deck overlooking a stream and meadow. The wooden bridge across the stream and the adjoining meadow create a rare and peaceful outdoor setting and offer potential for family play or wildlife interest. The plot size and garden layout also present scope for further landscaping or garden improvements.
Practical information is straightforward: freehold tenure, chain free, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed before 2002) and an EPC rating of D. The house was built circa 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and may benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades such as wall insulation and improved glazing to reduce running costs.
This cottage will especially suit families seeking a village lifestyle close to good local schools and countryside walking, and buyers interested in adding value through sympathetic energy and fabric improvements. The property’s provenance as once part of a larger residence also offers a rare chance, for those with longer-term plans, to reinstate or extend subject to consents.
