This stone-built, two-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits a short walk from Bourne town centre and is offered chain-free — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character and convenience. The house retains period features such as an open fireplace with tiled surround in the lounge and has a compact, west-facing rear garden with several useful outbuildings including a coal shed.
Accommodation is modest but well-laid-out across approximately 681 sq ft: a lounge, fitted kitchen, family bathroom and two bedrooms. Note both bedrooms and the bathroom have restricted head height in parts due to the property’s roof form; bedroom one provides loft access and storage. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown.
The property is stone (sandstone/limestone) as built before 1900 and is assumed to have no wall insulation — buyers should allow for insulation and general modernisation where desired. The plot is small but private and benefits from a west-facing aspect; outbuildings add storage and potential workshop space. Local broadband is fast and schools nearby are rated Good, but the area records higher crime levels, which may concern some buyers.
Overall this cottage offers immediate occupation without a chain and good scope to add value through sympathetic improvement works — particularly insulation, internal modernisation and cosmetic updating. It suits a buyer wanting character close to town, comfortable outdoor space and affordable entry into the local market.
