The living room has characterful exposed beams and a fireplace, and there’s a separate kitchen with direct access to a private courtyard.

Practical extras include double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating and a brick-built outbuilding (9 x 6 ft) with water and full electrics—ideal for laundry or storage. The mid-20th-century façade and traditional interiors provide period character while the layout remains straightforward and easy to personalise.
Buyers should note the property sits on a very small plot and the external walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, so thermal upgrades may be desirable to improve comfort and running costs. Internal space is compact and ceiling heights are low to standard, so this home is best suited to individuals or couples rather than families needing generous room sizes.
Location is a genuine strength: within walking distance of Wilstead Primary School, village shops, two pubs and regular road links to the A6/A421 corridor for wider commuting. This is a practical, affordable entry into the local market with scope for targeted improvement works to increase comfort and value.
