A charming Grade II Listed cottage in Newport, presented with many original features and tasteful, sympathetic decoration. The sitting room's inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and period joinery create immediate character; the partly-vaulted kitchen with skylight gives a light, modern country feel while remaining in keeping with the house.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors with four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a cellar — well suited to a growing family who value village life and character. The south-facing rear garden (approx. 48ft x 37ft) is a standout asset: private, well-stocked and ideal for alfresco dining or family play. The village location offers a primary school, good secondary schooling options and a mainline station to London and Cambridge.
Buyers should note the property's Listed status. Any structural changes, extensions or certain internal alterations will require Listed Building consent and may limit modernization options. The house currently provides one bathroom, and some rooms are arranged across steep stairs and attic floors which may not suit everyone.
Overall this is a character-rich village home with a generous rear plot and genuine scope for improvement (subject to consents). It will particularly appeal to purchasers seeking historic charm, a private garden and excellent local connections rather than turn-key modernisation without restrictions.
