A charming three-bedroom semi-detached cottage in the heart of Roade, offering period character and practical, low-maintenance outdoor space. The dual-aspect living/dining room with exposed beams and a fireplace creates an inviting centre of the home, while the kitchen provides useful storage and space for informal dining. A recently replaced family bathroom removes an immediate renovation worry for the new owner.
This home suits a family or couple seeking village life with excellent commuter links — the A5 and M1 are close by and fast broadband is available. The property is freehold with affordable Council Tax (Band C) and benefits from gas central heating and uPVC double glazing for everyday comfort. The plot is small and the gardens are courtyard-style, designed for minimal upkeep rather than extensive outdoor living.
Be aware of a few practical points: the cottage was built before 1900 and walls are likely uninsulated (assumed), which may affect energy performance and future insulating opportunities. The internal ceiling heights are lower in parts of the house and rooms are average in scale, so this is not a large family residence. There is one bathroom serving three double bedrooms, which could be a consideration for larger households.
Overall, the property offers a characterful, well-presented village home with sensible running costs and little outdoor maintenance. It is particularly appealing for buyers prioritising location, character and ease of upkeep, and for those happy to consider modest upgrades to improve energy efficiency and internal space if desired.
