Lark Rise Cottage is a recently renovated three-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage finished to a country-chic standard. The seller has replaced the wiring, boiler, kitchen and shower room in recent years, preserving period features such as exposed beams, a fireplace with a multi-fuel burner and traditional bay windows. The layout is compact (approximately 797 sq ft) but well planned, with a bright country-style kitchen and a comfortable living room.
The garden is a standout: south-west facing front garden, generous lawn, mature hedging, patio, pergola and raised vegetable beds. Off-street gravel parking for up to three cars and a useful detached workshop/outbuilding with power, lighting and alarm provide practical outdoor space for hobbies or storage. The cottage sits in a quiet village lane in Burton Overy, a very affluent rural area with strong village amenities and easy road links to nearby towns and schools.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. The property is relatively small for a three-bedroom home and has a single shower room; families needing more internal living space or a second bathroom should note this. Walls are original solid brick (no confirmed added insulation), and broadband speeds are average — relevant if you work from home. Council tax is moderate and tenure is freehold.
This home suits a buyer seeking character with modern comforts in a peaceful village setting: ideal for a small family, downsizer or buyer looking for a rural weekend retreat with usable garden and workshop space. The cottage offers immediate move-in condition with sensible renovation history, but limited floor area and single-bathroom layout limit larger-family practicality.
