Characterful 3-bed village cottage with garden, garage and no upward chain.
Grade II listed 16th-century cottage with original beams and fireplaces
Clare Cottage is a rare Grade II listed 16th-century terrace in the heart of Blyth, offered freehold and with no upward chain. The house retains period features — exposed beams, fireplaces and a useful cellar — and provides comfortable family accommodation across three floors: a large sitting room, kitchen, ground-floor shower room and three bedrooms, the main with an en-suite w.c.
Outside, the property benefits from a south-west facing enclosed lawned garden, rear courtyard parking and a detached garage. The cottage totals about 1,140 sq ft and sits in a central village location close to local amenities and a well-regarded primary school.
Buyers should note this is a listed building and repairs or alterations will be constrained and possibly costly. The property has an EPC rating of F and may need energy-efficiency improvements. There is medium flood risk in the area and local crime levels are reported as high, which are important factors for budgeting and insurance.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and village living who are prepared for the practical responsibilities of a listed, older property and the likely need for sympathetic updating rather than a move-in-perfect house.
