Set on an unusually deep 0.44-acre plot, this two double-bedroom Victorian cottage offers genuine countryside retreat potential. The house retains period character — a bow-fronted lounge with a working log burner, leaded windows and a conservatory — while the large garden, outbuildings and extended garage provide scope for gardening, storage or future extension (subject to planning).
The accommodation is practical but dated: a kitchen, utility room, four-piece bathroom and two double bedrooms over two storeys. The plot and layout offer value for buyers willing to modernise; improvements could significantly increase comfort and market value. The property is offered with no onward chain, simplifying purchase for those ready to act.
Be frank about the trade-offs: the building is solid brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation, services and appliances have not been tested, broadband is slow and there is a medium flood risk. The title may not be registered at the Land Registry, so conveyancing steps will be required. These factors affect running costs and renovation scope but are common for older rural cottages and manageable with a targeted refurbishment plan.
This home suits buyers seeking a peaceful rural base with substantial garden, a project to personalise, or a downsizer wanting character plus outside space. For anyone prioritising instant, low-maintenance living or fast internet connectivity, this property will need investment to meet those needs.
