A substantial detached cottage on a large plot in Whitmore, offered freehold with genuine scope to renovate and personalise. The house provides three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a useful garage with driveway parking — a good blank canvas for a growing family or buyer seeking countryside living.
The layout is traditional and practical: entrance hall, living room with wood-burner, separate dining room, kitchen, utility and ground-floor WC, with three double bedrooms and two bathrooms above. The tiered rear garden and mature front garden are standout features, offering plenty of outdoor space for children, pets or landscaping projects.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation, including likely modernisation of services. Heating is by oil-fired boiler with radiators, glazing dates from before 2002, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location and council tax is described as expensive. There is no flood risk.
Set in a quiet hamlet-like location close to local schools, amenities and travel links, this is a home for buyers who want space and character and are prepared to invest time and money to modernise and improve thermal performance and interior finishes.
