Ellswood is a Grade II listed semi-detached cottage in the village of Sarre, combining period character with usable, family-sized accommodation across three floors. The lounge with an open wood burner and the exposed-brick kitchen retain original charm, while a converted cellar currently used as a bespoke bar offers flexible space for a home office, snug or hobby room. Note: some images are virtual stagings to illustrate styling potential.
The house is solid-brick construction from the early 20th century and is heated by an oil-fired boiler and radiators; the walls are likely uninsulated which will affect running costs and any improvement works. Listed status means repairs, alterations and some modernisation will be subject to consent and may be more costly or restricted.
Practical benefits include a rear garden with patio and summer house, three bedrooms plus a loft room, no flooding risk and affordable council tax. The property sits in a quiet village setting with good local primary schools and basic local amenities, making it suitable for families wanting character and the opportunity to personalise their home.
This is a good-fit purchase for buyers who value period features and are willing to carry out sympathetic improvements. Investors seeking minimal-maintenance rentals or buyers wanting a fully modernised turnkey house should factor in listed-building constraints and potential insulation/heating upgrades.
