Willow Cottage is a spacious, characterful four-bedroom detached cottage set in about 0.25 acre of established gardens in rural Bearwood, close to the attractive Black & White village of Pembridge. The house retains exposed timbers, a large lounge with wood-burning stove, separate dining room and useful outbuildings — all offering immediate country charm and strong potential for modernisation to suit family living or a countryside retreat.
The property is double glazed and heated by an oil-fired boiler and Rayburn. The room sizes are generous throughout: four bedrooms (one with en-suite), a ground-floor cloakroom/shower, family bathroom and an extensive garage/workshop complex. The triple garage and workshop provide parking, storage and scope for a home office, gym or ancillary space subject to consents.
Important practical points: the house needs modernisation throughout, solid-brick walls likely lack insulation, and services include private drainage and oil heating. These are straightforward but material issues that will influence renovation budgets and long-term running costs. Prospective buyers should factor in refurbishment and potential insulation or heating upgrades.
Set in a low-crime, well-connected rural area with fast broadband and good nearby schools, Willow Cottage will suit buyers seeking character and space who are comfortable undertaking a renovation project to create a comfortable, energy-improved family home or an adaptable rural base.
