Ideal first purchase with scope to personalise and add value.
Detached one-bedroom cottage, approximately 837 sq ft
Sold freehold with no onward chain
Character features: exposed beams, dual-aspect living room
Kitchen-diner opens to private courtyard garden
Courtyard garden currently overgrown and needs maintenance
EPC rating E — energy improvements likely required
Slow broadband speeds; average mobile signal for remote working
Small plot size — limited garden expansion potential
Set on a quiet lane in Aslockton, this detached one-bedroom cottage offers characterful living with clear scope to add value. At roughly 837 sq ft, the home has a generous layout by size, a dual-aspect living room with exposed beams, and a kitchen-diner that opens onto a private courtyard. The property is sold freehold with no chain — attractive for buyers wanting a quick move or an investor seeking an easy-let opportunity.
The house retains traditional features and presents well as a comfortable starter home, but it does require some updating to reach modern standards. The courtyard garden is private but currently overgrown and will need maintenance or re-landscaping. The current EPC rating is E; prospective buyers should expect energy improvements may be needed to reduce bills and improve performance.
Practical points: broadband speeds are slow in the area and mobile signal is average, which may matter for home-working. The plot is small and the property sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood popular with white-collar commuters; local amenities include a village hall, pub and a train station with direct links to Nottingham and Grantham. Nearby schools have good ratings, supporting family use.
Overall this is a rare, affordable village purchase with strong potential for personalisation or rental income. Buyers wanting original charm and a convenient commuter location will see immediate appeal; those seeking turn-key modern finishes should budget for updates.
