Characterful two-bed cottage with private patio and solar panels, chain free.
End-of-row stone cottage down private lane, peaceful setting
A cosy end-of-row stone cottage tucked down a private lane, offering character features and vacant possession with no onward chain. The living room’s exposed beams, stone fireplace and a bright conservatory porch create immediate charm, while a sheltered paved patio with pergola provides a private outdoor spot.
The accommodation is compact (approx. 539 sq ft) with two first-floor bedrooms and a ground-floor bathroom. Practical updates are needed: the kitchen is older in style and the property’s solid stone walls are assumed uninsulated. Current EPC is in the E band (approx. 48) with significant uplift potential (quoted to A with improvements).
Services and running costs are notable: double glazing and solar panels reduce energy use, but the main heating fuel is bottled LPG with a boiler and radiators — likely more expensive than mains gas. This is freehold, council tax band C, no flood risk and chain free, making it easy to move into for the right buyer.
This cottage suits a buyer seeking a characterful starter or a downsizer who values location and charm over space. Expect to invest in modernisation (insulation, kitchen) to maximise comfort and the property’s energy potential.
