This attractive three-bedroom cottage in Etwall has been thoughtfully remodelled to retain period character while offering contemporary comfort. The ground-floor bedroom with en-suite and a generous dining hall give flexibility for a family, home office, or independent ground-floor living. The sitting room’s log burner and bespoke kitchen with marble surfaces create warm, usable spaces for daily life and entertaining.
Outside, a private, well-planted cottage garden and paved patio provide low‑maintenance outdoor space, with a garage/workshop and gated pedestrian access from the lane. Double glazing (fitted post‑2002) and a mains gas boiler supply efficient heating, while there is no identified flood risk for the plot.
Buyers should note material facts: the house is a solid‑wall, pre‑1900 build (assumed without insulation), and it sits in a conservation area where works and tree removal may be restricted. Council Tax is Band E, and the property has a single family bathroom plus a ground-floor en‑suite, with the smaller first-floor bedroom currently used as a study. The current EPC sits in the mid-range with known potential to improve, offering scope for energy upgrades.
Overall this semi‑detached cottage will suit a small family, downsizer or someone seeking a characterful village home with modernised interiors. The high-quality finish, private garden and garage make it a turnkey option, but buyers wanting maximum thermal performance or lower running costs should consider further insulation and energy improvements.
