There are a few material points to note: the property is built with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher and insulation upgrades could be required. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, which could affect home working. The home is an average-sized, older property (c.1900–1929) and may benefit from general updating.
Overall this freehold, two-bedroom cottage will suit a first-time buyer or small family looking for period character, countryside views and parking in a peaceful village setting. The guide price reflects scope for improvement while offering genuine village living close to good primary and secondary schools.
