This deceptively spacious two-bedroom cottage on Gunco Lane blends period charm with a contemporary, full-width extension. The ground floor opens into a bright island kitchen and dining area with skylights, plus a cosy front lounge with an open grate fireplace — ideal for first-time buyers seeking character with practical living space. The separate utility/boot room and integrated kitchen appliances add everyday convenience.
Externally the property benefits from a private, walled mature garden with an elevated lawn, pond and drystone wall — a low-maintenance outdoor space for relaxing or light gardening. There's no onward chain, double glazing fitted post-2002, and mains gas central heating via a modern boiler, so you can move in quickly.
A few factual points to note: the house is a solid-brick pre-1900 build and, as assumed, has no cavity wall insulation; the EPC is D and the area scores as relatively deprived. The plot is small and the property sits in a neighbourhood described as ‘hampered aspiration’, which may influence future resale values. Buyers should verify any alterations or extensions for planning and building regulation compliance.
Overall this is a rare, ready-to-live-in cottage that offers generous, versatile accommodation for its modest facade. It suits buyers wanting a character home close to town amenities and countryside walking routes, who are comfortable with a period property’s typical maintenance and energy-efficiency considerations.
