Set on a large, private plot in Golden Valley, this five-double-bedroom cottage offers generous, versatile family living across multiple levels. The dining kitchen opens onto a balcony and French doors, creating a natural entertaining flow to the patio and sizeable lawn. Mature trees, gated access and a sweeping driveway to an integral garage add privacy and practical parking for several vehicles.
Accommodation includes an entrance hall, lounge, dining kitchen with balcony, lower-level sitting/games room, utility and WC, plus five double bedrooms, a family bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and an en suite. The rear garden includes an orchard/vegetable area and secure timber fencing, making it child- and pet-friendly. Access to the A38 and M1 is straightforward, helpful for commuting.
Buyers should note a few material points: broadband speeds in the area are very slow; there is a medium flood risk; some external outbuildings are described as neglected and the aerial view suggests potential refurbishment or restoration work. The property has only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may require adaptation for larger families.
This cottage will suit a family seeking space, character and outdoor living with scope to update and personalise. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, plot and privacy; practical improvements (connectivity, possible repairs to outbuildings and any flood-mitigation measures) should be factored into plans and budgets.
