This two-bedroom terraced cottage in Northlew offers village living with genuine period character and manageable outdoor space. The living room is welcoming with exposed beams, a bay window and a fireplace, creating a cosy main reception suitable for socialising or relaxing. Upstairs provides two comfortable double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Practical features include a fitted kitchen with a useful utility area, an enclosed rear courtyard and a small front lawn. The property is freehold, modest in size (approx. 835 sq ft), and benefits from double glazing fitted since 2002 — sensible upgrades for long-term comfort.
Buyers should note material issues: the roof requires repair and the living room and some finishes need modernisation. The stone walls are likely uninsulated, and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with modern central heating. These factors present clear renovation and energy-efficiency tasks but also offer scope to add value.
Positioned in a friendly, unspoilt village with a shop, pub, primary school and community amenities within walking distance, the cottage suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking community life and countryside access. With careful updating, it could be transformed into a comfortable, characterful home or a let for rural stays.
