Set on about 0.5 acre of sunny, south-facing grounds, this period cottage combines character finishes with flexible living. The main three-bedroom house retains traditional cob and stone construction under a slate roof, and benefits from new double glazing fitted within the last 12 months. Mature gardens, a conservatory and a detached garden room extend the living space and suit country-family life or multi-generational arrangements.
A self-contained two-bedroom annexe plus a one-bedroom American-style RV provide practical income or independent accommodation for relatives. The RV has been let successfully and includes its own private garden area, offering a ready-made short-let opportunity. There is a larger-than-average garage and outbuilding; planning was sought previously to convert the garage to additional accommodation but work did not start.
Practical points to note: heating is by an LPG boiler with radiators and there is a solid-fuel stove in the living room; the drainage is private (septic-type) rather than mains. Broadband speeds are slow in the area (circa up to 15 Mbps from public data), although mobile signal is excellent and satellite/airband solutions are possible. The house is traditional construction (pre-1900 cob walls) so buyers should expect age-related maintenance and should commission a full survey.
This property suits buyers seeking rural space, multi-use accommodation or an income stream from a holiday/stay business. It offers scope for modest modernisation and sensible extension (subject to planning), with privacy, long driveway parking and very low local crime adding to its appeal.
