A characterful two-bedroom semi-detached cottage in the centre of Selattyn, set on a large plot with generous terraced gardens and off-street parking. The house retains traditional charm—period features, a mid-century fireplace and a cosy cottage feel—while offering clear potential for modernisation to create a comfortable, more energy-efficient home.
The property requires renovation: low ceilings and generally small rooms reflect the cottage proportions, and the EPC rating is 30 (F). Heating is by oil-fired central heating and the windows are uPVC double glazed. The layout includes a sizable kitchen/diner, a separate lounge, utility space and a garage with an inspection pit, giving practical scope for improvement or extension (subject to consents).
This home suits a buyer wanting project potential rather than a move-in-ready house. It will appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers or buyers looking for a countryside retreat who are prepared to invest in updating and insulating the property. Practical positives include fast broadband, low local crime, no flood risk, very low council tax and proximity to a well-regarded primary school and independent schools nearby.
Key negatives are the need for refurbishment, dated fixtures and fittings, modest room sizes and low ceilings which limit some modernisation options. Buyers should budget for energy-efficiency upgrades and general modernisation to bring the property up to contemporary standards.
