Two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes
A charming two-bedroom period cottage in peaceful Ashorne, offering character features and manageable living over two floors. Exposed beams, a bay-fronted sitting room with a wood-burner, and fitted wardrobes provide cosy, usable space for everyday life. The gated picket-front garden and enclosed walled courtyard mean low-maintenance outdoor space and privacy in a hamlet setting.
Practical positives include uPVC double glazing, two bathrooms (bathroom and separate shower/WC), oil-fired central heating and fast broadband — useful for remote working. The cottage is freehold and sits in an affluent, low-crime area close to village amenities and good local schools.
Buyers should note the property’s solid brick walls were built before 1900 and are assumed uninsulated; upgrading insulation and heating could be needed for modern energy efficiency. The main heating runs on an oil boiler (oil tank on-site) and there is no gas connection. The plot is small, so outdoor expansion is limited.
This home suits someone seeking a character-rich, low-upkeep cottage close to village life who is willing to invest modestly in energy improvements. It also appeals to downsizers wanting compact, comfortable accommodation with useful storage and established fittings.
