Character cottage with south-facing garden and countryside views, offered chain free.
Grade II Listed Gothic Revival cottage by Edward Blore
A rare Grade II Listed Gothic Revival cottage by Edward Blore, offered chain free and full of original period character. Diamond‑pane mullioned windows, oak joinery, quarry tile floors and a feature fireplace create a very particular, highly atmospheric home for someone who values history and authentic detail.
The house is compact (approximately 797 sq ft) but well laid out across multiple levels: a dual‑aspect kitchen/breakfast room with an Everhot range, a generous sitting/dining room with wood‑burner, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The south‑facing, three‑tier garden backs directly onto pasture and delivers excellent afternoon sun and long countryside views — an outstanding asset for outdoor living and gardening.
Practical notes: the property’s Listed status protects its special architectural interest but will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and repairs. The accommodation is modest in size with a single bathroom and small plot, and the communal outbuilding is for shared use. There are two stone outbuildings (utility outhouse and former pig pen) which add useful storage but will need ongoing upkeep.
This cottage will suit a buyer wanting a distinctive, characterful home in a sought‑after village, such as a family seeking village school catchment and community life, or a professional couple wanting countryside views and excellent ultrafast broadband. For anyone planning significant alterations, early advice on Listed‑building consents is recommended.
