Horseshoe Cottage is a compact two-bedroom period home that will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful starter property in a quiet village setting. The cottage retains original features such as exposed beams and traditional brickwork, and benefits from double glazing, a conservatory and a small rear garden with outdoor power and security lighting.
Practicalities include oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and average broadband speeds. The layout is traditional with modest room sizes across about 660 sq ft, so the house suits a couple, small family or buyer downsizing rather than someone needing generous living space.
Important note: this sale is for cash buyers only. The property is sold freehold and dates to before 1900, so there may be maintenance and updating required (insulation, possible decorator works). Council tax is very low, and the location places local shops, a pub/restaurant and a good primary school within easy walking distance.
This is a straightforward opportunity to own a character cottage in a rural community. Expect cosy rooms and low running council costs, balanced by the need for some modernisation and the cash-only purchase requirement.
