This immaculate two-bedroom cottage, set in a sought-after Thorpe le Soken location, offers compact, characterful living within easy walking distance of the high street and the mainline station. The property benefits from two reception rooms, a 14' lounge with a log burner, a modern kitchen and a secluded southerly rear garden — ideal for afternoon sun and outdoor entertaining.
Internally the home is presented in show-home condition with period features such as exposed beams and a brick fireplace, making it appealing to buyers wanting a move-in ready period property. At about 549 sq ft the layout is efficient but small; accommodation includes two first-floor bedrooms and a three-piece family bathroom.
Practical points to note: the cottage is freehold, offered with a complete onward chain, and sits in Council Tax Band B. The building has double glazing installed some years ago and an EPC rating of D. The property has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so buyers seeking maximum energy efficiency may want to budget for improvements.
This home will suit first-time buyers or those downsizing who value location, period character and straightforward living close to schools, shops and rail links. While presented to a high standard, the compact footprint and older solid-wall construction are important considerations for longer-term running costs or any future extension plans.
