Set in the hamlet of Old Woods, The Romping Cat is a large, characterful conversion of a former public house offering generous five double bedrooms and versatile living space across multiple storeys. Period features such as exposed beams and a feature fireplace sit alongside modern heating and double glazing, creating a home with strong curb appeal and practical day-to-day comforts. The property extends to about 3,167 sq ft and includes a separate dressing room and flexible rooms ideal for family life or holiday letting.
Outside, a spacious, level lawned garden includes a charming former 'pub' outbuilding with power and lighting — ideal for entertaining, a home office, or play space. The plot is large and largely level, with room for children or pets and easy outdoor living in a rural setting. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal average, supporting remote working and modern living in a peaceful location.
There is clear scope to personalise and improve: the house is solid brick and likely lacks modern cavity insulation, and an internal note highlights potential damp in the living room area. The property has only two bathrooms for five double bedrooms, so additional refurbishment may be required depending on buyer needs. Council tax is above average, and the house is sold freehold at auction with an unconditional legal commitment on exchange.
Important sale details: the lot is an online auction (12 November 2025). Buyers should review the legal pack carefully — a 5% deposit is payable on the fall of the hammer and a buyer’s premium (5% + VAT, subject to minimum) applies. Completion is typically required within 28 days. Inspect the legal pack and special conditions for any extra costs before bidding.
