Buyers should note the property’s listed status: any alterations will require listed-building consent and may add cost and delay. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the house uses oil-fired boiler heating (not connected to a community system), which will affect running costs. Council tax is described as expensive.
This home is offered chain free, suited to buyers who value period character and views and accept listed-building responsibilities. The property presents scope to personalise interiors while retaining historic features, but those seeking a completely maintenance-free move should be aware of potential upkeep and consent requirements.
