Distinctive period home with garden and parking in sought-after Beardwood.
Original exposed oak beams throughout ground floor
This charming two-bedroom barn conversion blends genuine period character with practical living space, making it an attractive option for first-time buyers seeking a distinctive home. Original exposed oak beams, flagstone floors and a working wood/coal burner give the property strong curb appeal and a cosy, historic atmosphere. A stone-built conservatory and a decent rear garden extend the usable space and offer scope for outdoor relaxation or informal entertaining.
The layout is traditional and straightforward: medium-sized lounge, compact kitchen, utility area, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Gas central heating, double glazing (installed post-2002) and mains services provide everyday convenience; council tax band B keeps running costs modest. Off-street parking/storage to the front adds practical value in this sought-after Beardwood location.
Buyers should be aware this is a converted building constructed before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls that are assumed to lack modern insulation. Some windows in the utility are single glazed and the property carries an EPC rating of D. The kitchen is compact and the ceiling heights in parts of the house are lower than modern new-builds — both factors to consider if you plan significant living-space reconfiguration. Services and appliances have not been tested, and prospective purchasers should confirm details during inspection.
Overall, the cottage suits someone who values period features and a ready-to-enjoy home with renovation potential rather than a fully modernised turnkey property. The house presents clear opportunities to improve thermal efficiency and update fittings, which could add comfort and future resale value in this desirable Beardwood neighbourhood.
