Five bedrooms and two bathrooms across multiple levels
Three reception rooms plus conservatory and versatile floorplan
Rear garden, four stone outbuildings, additional plot across road

A distinctive double-fronted stone cottage offering generous, flexible living across multiple levels. The house retains much period character—high ceilings, exposed beams, feature fireplaces—and provides three reception rooms, a conservatory and five bedrooms, ideal for a larger family or buyers seeking a character renovation. Several stone outbuildings and a rear garden add useful storage and outside space, with an additional garden/plot opposite offering views across the town to the hills.
The property requires upgrading and modernisation throughout: heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, double glazing was installed pre-2002, and the original stone walls appear uninsulated. There are signs of general wear and some damp risk around stonework and external vines; the home will suit buyers willing to invest in renovation and improvement rather than someone wanting a turnkey move.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, easy commuter links by rail and bus, good local schools rated Good, and excellent mobile signal. Drawbacks to factor into plans are slow broadband speeds, a small plot size, and an above-average local crime rate. Overall this is a character-rich, flexible cottage with strong potential for an owner-occupier seeking space and period detail after updating.
