4 bed 1 bath Cottage
17th-century cottage on large plot with paddock and renovation potential.
c.1.39 acre plot including formal garden and separate paddock
Set on the edge of a sought-after village, this 17th-century stone cottage occupies c.1.39 acres including a formal garden and separate paddock — ideal for a smallholding, ponies or outdoor hobbies. The house combines period charm with generously proportioned rooms: sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast, utility and flexible three/four-bedroom first-floor accommodation.
The plot and setting are standout assets: open fields on two sides offer privacy and rural outlooks, while ample off-street parking and low local crime add practical convenience. The property is offered chain free, making it a straightforward purchase for buyers wanting to move quickly.
The cottage requires renovation and modernisation. The construction is granite/whinstone with assumed no wall insulation; double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler and radiators (not on a community supply). There is a single family bathroom plus two ground-floor WCs. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent.
For families, the location sits within reach of nearby primary schools and offers quiet village living with countryside access. For buyers seeking a project, the combination of historic character, substantial plot and flexible accommodation provides significant scope to create a long-term home to personal specification.
