This compact mid-terrace cottage blends period character with refreshed, ready-to-live-in accommodation. Exposed beams, a wood burner and original brick chimneys give the house a distinctive, cosy feel while the fitted kitchen and modern bathrooms provide practical everyday comforts. Sold chain-free, it suits first-time buyers, downsizers or anyone seeking a low-maintenance village bolthole.
The footprint is small (approximately 654 sq ft) but efficiently laid out over two storeys: two reception rooms, a dining kitchen with French doors to the rear garden, three bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite). Outside space is modest but enclosed and low-maintenance, with two brick outbuildings that offer useful storage or possible conversion subject to consents.
Buyers should note a number of practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property appears to have solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and the property shares a septic tank with neighbouring homes. There is only on-street parking nearby and the plot is small. Flood risk is rated medium, so check insurers’ and surveyors’ advice if concerned.
Overall this is a well-presented period cottage in a convenient village location with good mobile signal and easy road links. It offers immediate occupancy with scope for energy-efficiency improvements or modest cosmetic updating to personalise the home.
