18th-century four-bedroom cottage on a large village plot, full of character and scope.
18th-century detached cottage with period features
An 18th-century, four-bedroom detached cottage set on an approximately 0.25-acre plot in the village of North Scarle. The house combines period character with carefully presented interiors: a charming lounge, a generous open-plan dining kitchen and modern fittings alongside original proportions. Double glazing was added after 2002 and the property benefits from oil-fired heating with radiators and underfloor heating in parts.
The plot offers a private, sheltered garden, gravel driveway and a small detached garage — attractive for families who need outdoor space and parking. The overall size is average for a family home and the layout suits everyday living, entertaining and flexible use of rooms. Broadband speeds are fast, and the location sits within a rural community popular with workers and families.
Notable practical points are presented clearly: the house sits in an area with medium flood risk; walls are original solid brick and assumed to lack cavity insulation; main heating runs on oil (a private supply rather than a community system). Local primary schools are nearby but rated as requiring improvement. A survey is recommended to confirm plot boundaries and condition. Council tax is described as affordable.
This property will suit buyers looking for period character, garden space and a village lifestyle, and who are comfortable managing oil heating and potential fabric or insulation upgrades. Early viewing is advisable to appreciate the plot and internal quality.
