Set in the sought-after village of Rickinghall, this end-terrace period cottage offers comfortable family accommodation across about 1,082 sq ft. The house retains original character — exposed timbers, a feature fireplace and dual-aspect reception rooms — and sits on a generous, southerly-facing plot with tiered lawns and a sunny patio. Off-street parking at the side adds practical convenience for village life.
The layout is straightforward and family-friendly: two reception rooms (open-plan in effect), a kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, three double bedrooms and a single family bathroom on the first floor. Recent practical updates include upvc double glazing and an oil-fired boiler installed 2–3 years ago, improving everyday comfort while preserving period charm.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The property has an EPC rating of E and is heated by oil (not a community supply). The construction is timber-framed as originally built, with assumed lack of modern insulation, so further energy-efficiency work may be required. There is also a recorded high flood risk in the area — prospective buyers should obtain site-specific flood advice and insurance quotes.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this cottage suits buyers wanting character in a well-served village with good broadband and excellent local amenities. It will particularly appeal to those prepared to carry out selective upgrading — insulation, energy improvements or cosmetic modernisation — to unlock its full potential while enjoying a private, south-facing garden and convenient parking.
