Charming village cottage — ideal holiday let or compact first home.
Successful holiday let with proven income potential
A compact one-bedroom period cottage in the sought-after village of Malpas, Wattle Cottage blends rustic charm with practical income potential. The property has been run successfully as a holiday let and would suit investors seeking an immediate-let opportunity or a first-time buyer/downsizer looking for a low-maintenance base in a picturesque setting.
Internally the house is cosy: a lounge with exposed beams and a feature fireplace, a compact rustic kitchen with Belfast sink and wooden worktops, plus a shower room and a bedroom with built-in wardrobes. Outside there are private front and rear courtyards and a powered storage shed — useful extras for an otherwise small home.
Buyers should note the modest overall size (approximately 336 sq ft) and lower-than-average ceiling heights in places. The property is freehold and offered with no upward chain, EPC rating C. Services and appliances have not been tested and the current council tax exemption (due to holiday-let status) may not apply after sale.
This is a straightforward, characterful property that rewards pragmatic purchasers: investors will appreciate the proven short-let track record and central village location, while buyers seeking a compact, attractive home will enjoy the easy-to-manage external spaces and immediate move-in potential.
