Character cottage in Roade with three bedrooms, garden and easy village living.
Three-bedroom link-detached cottage with period character
This red-brick link-detached cottage in Roade balances period character with everyday practicality. The lounge with a solid-fuel burner and the cottage-style kitchen/diner provide comfortable family living spaces, while three first-floor bedrooms suit a young family or those needing a home office.
Practical conveniences include UPVC double glazing, mains gas central heating and a recently refitted bathroom. The property is freehold, sits in a quiet village setting near good primary schools, and benefits from fast broadband and very low local flood risk — useful for commuting or working from home.
Buyers should note the small plot and mostly front-facing garden with a compact block-paved rear courtyard; parking is via a shared/gravel driveway at the side. The house is of pre-1900 construction with sandstone/limestone walls likely lacking cavity insulation (assumed), and the EPC is rated E — further insulation or energy upgrades would improve running costs.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located family cottage that offers immediate liveability with scope for energy and aesthetic improvements to increase comfort and long-term value.
