A substantial four-bedroom detached character cottage set in approximately 2.56 acres of private gardens, paddock and outbuildings. The stone-built home retains traditional features — exposed beams, parquet and floorboards, a stone fireplace and multiple staircases — offering strong character and scope to create a versatile family residence or rural retreat. The site includes a car port, open-fronted garage, timber stable block with four loose boxes, and a small paddock with separate gated access from the highway.
The house requires substantial renovation and modernisation throughout: the kitchen and many internal fittings need full replacement, and heating is by an older oil-fired boiler with a coal-fired boiler also present. Glazing is double glazed but pre-2002; walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone. Services include mains electricity and water. EPC rating is to be confirmed and council tax is band F (expensive), which buyers should factor into running costs.
Practical considerations include slow broadband, average mobile signal, and a high local crime score with very deprived area indicators. The paddock is not fully fenced, though it benefits from stables and gated access; upkeep of the extensive grounds and outbuildings will demand time and expense. The property is offered freehold by informal tender — written best and final bids with proof of funds and ID are required by 31 October 2025.
For buyers seeking a rural family home, equestrian base or renovation project with significant land, this cottage presents substantial upside from a large private plot and characterful fabric. For purchasers who need immediate modern convenience, broadband, lower running costs or a move-in-ready property, extensive works will be necessary.
