A compact two-bedroom stone cottage in the desirable village of Evercreech, offered chain-free and sold freehold — an attractive entry point for first-time buyers or a straightforward rental investment. The property retains period character with exposed stonework and beams, and benefits from an off-road parking courtyard for two cars and a small enclosed front garden. Its quiet lane location is a short walk from village amenities, countryside walks, and good local schools.
Internally the layout is traditional and efficiently arranged: lounge/diner leading to a fitted kitchen, a ground-floor plan that optimises available space, and two bedrooms plus a family bathroom upstairs. The house is compact (circa 595 sq ft) with low ceilings and some dated decor, so it will particularly suit buyers seeking a manageable home or an investor prepared to modernise for rental income.
Practical considerations are clear: the property has double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and sandstone/limestone walls likely without cavity insulation. Broadband and mobile signals are average; there is no flood risk and local crime levels are very low. While the cottage’s character is a strong selling point, expect unavoidable maintenance and updating — cosmetic refurbishment, potential insulation improvements, and modern kitchen/bathroom upgrades would add value and comfort.
Overall this is a small, characterful home in an affluent, well-served village setting. It offers immediate occupation or rental with minimal legal complexity (no onward chain) and scope to increase value through modest renovation works.
