St. Giles Cottage is a compact Grade II listed cottage set within walking distance of Sidbury village, presented in excellent order and offered with no onward chain. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, stripped pine floors and a deep inglenook fireplace with a Vermont multi‑fuel burner — creating a cosy, low‑maintenance home suited to a retirement or downsizing buyer.
The accommodation is neatly arranged over two storeys with a triple‑aspect sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms (principal with en‑suite) and a family bathroom. Practical features include double glazed windows to most rooms, LPG central heating with a modern Worcester boiler, boarded loft storage and private off‑street parking — useful in a village setting.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may require specialist repairs or consents. The site is in a high flood‑risk area, which affects insurance and mitigation needs. Heating runs on LPG (no mains gas) and the small plot and proximity to the road limit garden expansion.
Overall this is an attractive, characterful cottage for someone seeking a comfortable retirement base or a holiday/letting investment in a very affluent, low‑crime village. It rewards buyers who appreciate historic detail and are comfortable with listed‑building responsibilities and local flood considerations.
