This Grade II listed two-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits in the heart of historic Clare, an easy walk from the town centre and local amenities. The house is rich in original character: exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, brick and pamment tile floors, a log-burning stove and timber framing create an immediate period appeal.
Internally the footprint is compact (about 549 sq ft) and arranged in a traditional layout: a sitting room with log stove, a kitchen/breakfast area opening to the terrace, and two bedrooms with high vaulted ceilings upstairs. A small garden and paved terrace provide an outdoor living spot; an outbuilding currently used as a utility room adds practical space.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is freehold but Grade II listed (restrictions on alterations and potential cost implications), includes an element of flying freehold, and a reciprocal Right of Way to and from the neighbouring property to access the rear garden. Heating is electric and some external paintwork requires maintenance. Broadband speeds are high and flooding risk is low.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance period home in an affluent rural town — ideal as a first home or a pied-à-terre for someone who values history and proximity to village life. It will not suit purchasers wanting large modern rooms or someone seeking unrestricted renovation freedom without listed‑building consent.
