Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage with original beams and fireplace
This Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage sits in a conservation area on picturesque Church Street, offering historic character and river views from a south-facing courtyard garden. The house retains original features such as exposed beams, a feature fireplace with log burner and timber glazing, creating a warm, authentic feel across three floors.
The layout suits small families or downsizers: a main reception room, open dining-kitchen with country-style units and a Velux, two double bedrooms (one on the first floor and a vaulted master on the second) plus an ensuite shower room. The property is close to highly regarded local primary and secondary schools, village amenities and has good commuter links.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or upgrades. Windows are single-glazed timber and the EPC is rated F, so heating efficiency improvements may be needed. The courtyard garden and plot are small and rear access uses a shared ginnel.
This well-located cottage will appeal to purchasers seeking character, village life and strong school catchments rather than a low-maintenance modern home. A full survey is recommended to clarify running costs and any listed-building repair obligations before purchase.
