Set in a quiet riverside hamlet, this three-bedroom end-terrace cottage offers an affordable entry into village life with a strong view of the River Ouse. The layout is practical: a comfortable lounge, an open-plan kitchen/diner, three bedrooms and an en-suite to the principal bedroom. Off-street parking and a long rear garden add everyday convenience for families or first-time buyers.
The house has clear scope to add value through modernisation. The kitchen is presented well, but the exterior shows age — an older roof and external wear will need attention. The property is of traditional solid-brick construction with double glazing installed before 2002; insulation appears limited, and the heating runs from an oil-fired boiler. EPC rated E reflects energy-improvement opportunities that could reduce running costs and increase market value.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, very low local crime, low flood risk and council tax band A (very cheap). Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average — typical for remoter rural communities — so factor connectivity upgrades into plans. Overall internal space is small-to-average, making this most suitable for first-time buyers, small families or buy-to-let purchasers looking for an affordable cottage with scope to improve.
If you want a peaceful riverside base with character and potential, this property rewards modest investment and upgrading. Expect to budget for exterior maintenance, energy-efficiency works and cosmetic modernisation to unlock the best long-term return.
