Set directly off the village green, this period stone cottage offers characterful two-bedroom accommodation and a private, south-facing walled terrace garden. The compact footprint (approx. 449 sq ft) and generous living room make it an appealing choice for downsizers, those seeking a second home, or buyers wanting a low-maintenance rural base within easy reach of Richmond and nearby market towns.
The property retains traditional features — stone mullioned façade, timber fireplace surround and built-in bedroom wardrobes — with double glazing fitted after 2002 and a recently replaced boiler (March 2019) reported. Practical highlights include a fitted kitchen, utility room and a walk-in shower room. Broadband has previously supported full-fibre connections and local schools and village amenities are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the cottage is small and will suit those prioritising location and character over large living spaces. There are mixed notes on heating: the particulars state an oil central heating boiler replaced in 2019, while other data references electric storage heaters; prospective purchasers should verify the current heating system and fuel. The house sits in a Conservation Area, the walls are traditional stone with assumed no insulation, and the EPC is D.
Other considerations: parking is on-street rather than private, the plot is small, and the property sits in an area with a medium flood risk. These factors, together with its compact size, are reflected in the sensible asking price and make it a practical purchase for someone seeking a characterful, affordable cottage to update and enjoy.
