This compact period terrace sits on the edge of Cliviger and offers classic Victorian character with modern convenience. The stone façade, cottage beamed ceiling and wood-burning stove give immediate charm, while UPVC double glazing and a Baxi gas combi boiler provide everyday comfort and reasonable energy performance (EPC C).
The house is small (c.582 sq ft) and arranged over two floors with one reception room, a practical fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a fitted shower room. The property enjoys open countryside views to the front and rear and includes a modest low-maintenance garden — appealing for buyers seeking a rural feel without large grounds to manage.
There is clear potential to add value through cosmetic upgrading and internal redecoration; some finishes are dated and the walls are likely original stone with no added cavity insulation. Important practical points: the property is leasehold, offered with no onward chain, and is suited to buyers who prioritise location and character over extensive living space.
For a first-time buyer or small household wanting an affordable entry into an affluent, semi-rural area with very low local crime, fast broadband and good mobile signal, this cottage is a sensible, straightforward option. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the views and compact layout in person.
