Chain-free two-bedroom village cottage with garden and outbuildings, needs renovation.
Grade II listed thatched mid-terrace cottage with character features
A Grade II listed two-bedroom thatched cottage in a peaceful village lane, offered chain-free and ready for sympathetic updating. The property retains strong period character — stone walls, exposed beams and a thatched roof — and sits behind a fully enclosed rear garden with a substantial range of useful outbuildings. Its compact footprint and three-storey layout suit buyers seeking a character pied-à-terre or a downsizing home with scope to improve.
Practical realities are clear: the cottage needs renovation, has electric storage heating throughout, likely no wall insulation, and is listed, which will restrict work and may add cost and delay. The interior rooms are small with low ceilings and the property totals approximately 581 sq ft, so the space is limited compared with modern homes. Broadband is very slow here; mobile signal, however, is excellent.
Outdoor strengths include a decent garden and private enclosed outdoor space, plus unrestricted on-street parking to the front. The village location is attractive for those wanting quiet country life, and highly rated primary and secondary schools are within reach. No onward chain makes for a quicker purchase if you are prepared for the listed-building constraints and renovation work.
This cottage will suit a buyer who values character and location over immediate modern comfort — someone happy to invest in careful restoration or to enjoy as a weekend retreat. It is not a turnkey family home and will require budget and planning to upgrade heating, insulation and services while observing listed-building requirements.
