This attractive two-bedroom semi-detached cottage occupies a peaceful village setting on East Church Street, overlooking a castle and the surrounding countryside. The house offers well-proportioned living space across two floors, including a spacious lounge with a fitted fire, a bright sun room and a recently fitted dining kitchen. The layout feels generous for a first home or holiday base at around 936 sq ft, with two double bedrooms—one benefitting from a walk-in wardrobe.
Practical positives include a low-maintenance, fully enclosed rear garden, included cooker, fridge and washing machine, freehold tenure and excellent mobile signal. The brand-new kitchen units give the property immediate everyday usability while retaining traditional stone-cottage character such as a slate roof and stone fireplace.
Buyers should be aware of several material points: heating is oil-fired (EPC rated F), broadband speeds are slow and the location is in a remoter, very deprived local area which limits nearby amenities. There is a single shower room only and some buyers may want to upgrade heating or insulation to improve energy performance and running costs.
For a first-time buyer seeking character in a quiet coastal hinterland, or someone wanting a low-upkeep rural retreat, this cottage offers solid space and immediate move-in convenience with clear potential to improve energy efficiency and modern comforts over time.
