The property sits above street level reached by steps and has compact, cosy rooms that suit simpler, quieter lifestyles or weekend countryside escapes.
Key positives include the generous plot and peaceful village location with fast broadband and low local crime — useful for those working from home or seeking rural calm. The house is freehold, arranged over approximately 680 sqft, and retains rustic stone walls, an exposed chimney and cottage-style charm.
Buyers should note this is a traditional solid-walled cottage with assumed no wall insulation and an EPC rating of G. Heating is by an LPG boiler (bottled gas), and the property will benefit from improvement works and energy-efficiency upgrades; these present both costs and renovation potential for value-add buyers.
