Court Cottage is a handsome Grade II listed Tudor Revival cottage set on the edge of Richards Castle, surrounded on three sides by open farmland. The house sits in mature cottage gardens extending to about 0.3 acre and includes a detached double garage, greenhouse and ample driveway parking — a rare combination for a village location. Interiors retain strong period character: exposed timbers, flagstone hearths, engineered oak floors and two woodburning stoves create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The accommodation is well presented and spacious, with a large entrance hall, sitting and dining rooms, a morning room, fitted kitchen/breakfast room with an oil-fired Rayburn, useful utility and four bedrooms upstairs including a large principal suite with en-suite bathroom. Broadband speeds include superfast options (up to c.80 Mbps), mobile signal is excellent and the area is peaceful with very low local crime.
Because this is a Grade II listed building there are limitations and likely extra costs for alterations, maintenance and repairs; the listing will affect planning and upgrade options. Services are a mix of mains electricity with private water and drainage and oil-fired central heating via the Rayburn — an efficient period solution but one that requires routine oil supply management. EPC is exempt due to listed status.
In short, this is a substantial, characterful family home for buyers seeking rural tranquillity, generous gardens and historic charm. It will suit purchasers prepared to live with listed-building constraints and the practicalities of private services and oil heating.
