Set on a generous plot in a village setting, this two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage combines period character with practical modern upgrades. The house has exposed beams, a brick fireplace with wood burner, and a versatile garden room that extends living space into the private rear garden. Owned solar panels and fibre-to-the-premises broadband add practical value and lower running costs.
Internally the layout works well for a small family: a well-proportioned reception room, kitchen/diner with granite worktops, two double bedrooms, a ground-floor shower/WC and a separate family bathroom. A single garage plus private parking give secure storage and convenience. Nearby schools include an Outstanding primary and several good secondaries, making the location attractive for families.
Buyers should note several material points: the property has an EPC rating of E and an LPG boiler and radiator system rather than mains gas. Drainage is to a private septic tank and there is a public vehicular right of way across the parking area. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the glazing pre-dates 2002, so further insulation and energy upgrades may be needed.
There is a regional mining history — a formal mining search is recommended before purchase — and local crime levels are reported higher than average. Occasional mobile signal blackspots are recorded. These factors are offset by the property’s size, character and plot, offering clear scope for sympathetic improvement to increase comfort and long-term value.
