Summary - 3 WOODPECKER HILL DALE ABBEY ILKESTON DE7 4PJ
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Character cottage with ½-acre paddock, no upward chain and countryside views.
Two double bedrooms with original beams and period features
Set on Woodpecker Hill and backing onto open fields, this traditional two-double-bedroom cottage combines original character with useful outdoor space. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace with log burner and an original cooking range give the house a cosy, period feel; the kitchen has shaker-style units and solid wooden worktops. The property has been run successfully as a short-term let in recent years and is offered with NO UPWARD CHAIN.
Outside the cottage there is off-street parking, private gardens to the front and side and approximately a ½ acre paddock beyond the lane that includes an orchard. The paddock adds practical amenity and scope for small-scale equestrian, hobby farming or future land purchase from a neighbouring owner (subject to separate negotiation).
Practical points to note: the house is modest in size (about 568 sq ft) with one ground-floor bathroom and two double bedrooms upstairs. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location and there is a septic tank reported on the file (check sewerage arrangements during due diligence). Buyers should also verify heating and services despite recent installation of a wall-mounted boiler circa two years ago.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful rural home, a holiday-let purchaser or someone wanting a small plot with paddock. It is best for those comfortable with limited indoor space and rural utilities, and for anyone wanting scope to update, extend or adapt subject to planning.
