Freehold, no flood risk, dual-fuel heating (boiler and wood)
Set on High Street in the sought-after village of Doveridge, this mid-terrace Victorian cottage offers manageable, characterful living for those looking to downsize without losing period charm. The living spaces are compact but well laid out, with exposed beams, oak-effect flooring and an Esse cast-iron log burner creating a cosy, authentic atmosphere. The extended kitchen/diner opens via French doors to the rear garden, bringing light and easy indoor–outdoor flow.
The rear garden is a standout for a village property, with a patio and extensive lawns that provide a private, low-maintenance outdoor retreat. Practical features include integrated kitchen appliances, built-in bedroom storage and off-road parking — useful for everyday convenience in a small-town setting. Broadband is fast and local schools and village amenities are within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is an older solid-brick cottage (pre-1900) with assumed no wall insulation and double glazing of unknown installation date. The rooms are generally small, and the property will suit people wanting a cozy, character home rather than spacious modern layouts. Heating is dual-fuel (boiler and radiators plus wood-burning stove), offering flexibility but potentially higher maintenance than newer systems.
Overall this freehold cottage suits someone seeking a tranquil village base with genuine period features and a generous garden, provided they accept the limitations of an older, compact property and the likely need for incremental updates rather than full modernisation.
