This extended three-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits quietly in the heart of Motcombe, offered with no forward chain. Spacious reception rooms and comfortable, well-proportioned bedrooms suit a growing family seeking character and practicality in a village setting. The property benefits from driveway parking, a brick-built store and a large, well-attended garden that provides private outdoor space and potential for landscaping.
Built before 1900, the house retains period character throughout while offering some modern comforts: double glazing installed after 2002 and a mains-gas boiler with radiators. The layout includes multiple reception rooms that could adapt to home working or family living, and the generous overall size (about 1,505 sq ft) gives scope for internal reconfiguration if desired.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The solid brick walls are assumed to lack built-in insulation, which contributes to an EPC rating of C; improving insulation would reduce running costs and raise efficiency. There is a single family bathroom and the house will suit those comfortable with a property of its age rather than a fully modernised turnkey home.
Situated in a very low-crime, affluent village with good local schools and fast broadband, the house is well placed for family life or a countryside move. The chain-free status and large plot make this an attractive purchase for buyers looking to add value through sympathetic upgrading while enjoying a secluded village location.
