Three-bedroom village cottage on over half an acre with large garages and scope to improve.
Extremely large plot — just over half an acre (STMS)
Set on an unusually large plot of just over half an acre, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers genuine countryside living and plenty of scope for a family to personalise. The house retains traditional character — bay-windowed living room, exposed brick fireplace, separate dining room and a large conservatory — while benefitting from double glazing fitted after 2002.
Practical strengths include generous parking, three garages (two double), an essential ground-floor WC, utility room and walk-in pantry. The southerly bay and elevated bedroom views take in fields and open rural vistas; several well-rated village and nearby secondary schools are within easy reach, making this an appealing home for families who value space and privacy.
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout: the kitchen and bathroom are dated, and the house is understood to have solid brick walls without built-in insulation. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler and radiators — suitable for rural settings but a running-cost consideration. Broadband is very slow in this location, and the wider area shows indicators of local deprivation, which may affect services and resale timing.
On the upside, the plot, garages and layout provide realistic potential to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning permission). The home is chain free and freehold, offering a clear route for buyers planning a sympathetic refurbishment or longer-term investment in a quiet village setting.
