A substantial stone-built detached cottage dating from the 16th century, offering three bedrooms and about 1,283 sq ft of living space in the historic village of Ruardean. The house keeps strong period character — exposed stone, beams and a wood burner in the lounge — with a large garden room and off-street parking, making it a comfortable family home with countryside views.
Practical features include a downstairs shower room, utility/boot area, cellar/workshop space and oil-fired central heating. The layout suits families seeking character and space in a village setting close to a Good-rated primary and local amenities such as a pub and church.
Buyers should note this is an older property with sandstone/limestone walls likely without modern insulation and oil heating rather than mains gas. Mobile signal is reported as none and parts of the house will benefit from updating and potential insulation improvements. The property offers clear scope for sympathetic renovation to improve energy efficiency and modern comfort while retaining its period features.
This home will suit buyers who value historic character and space and who are prepared to invest in targeted refurbishment to reduce running costs and update services. For those after a village lifestyle with countryside views, it offers genuine charm and a generous internal footprint to personalise.
