Set within Burghill Conservation Area, this two-bedroom detached cottage combines genuine period character with substantial outdoor space. Exposed beams, Inglenook-style fireplaces and stone features provide traditional charm, while a fitted kitchen, downstairs shower room and gas central heating make the property immediately usable for modern village living. The plot extends to about a quarter of an acre and includes a large lawned garden, paved southeast-facing patio, greenhouse space, an enclosed chicken coop and two garages — strong appeal for buyers prioritising outside amenity and parking.
The layout suits a couple or small family seeking rural village life: principal reception rooms include a sitting room, lounge, dining room and a useful study/snug plus a utility off the kitchen. Two first-floor bedrooms sit alongside useful storage cupboards; overall internal space is comfortable rather than large for a detached home, but the generous plot significantly increases usable living area and privacy. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are described as good, and local schools and village amenities are close by.
Buyers should note some practical considerations. Parts of the building are timber framed with no confirmed insulation, and some windows are single glazed (install dates unknown) — further insulating/upgrading may be required to improve energy performance. Ceiling heights vary and some rooms are relatively low. The property is presented in largely usable condition but would benefit from updating in places to suit modern tastes. Council Tax Band D applies.
Overall this cottage offers rare garden and parking space for a two-bedroom village home, plus strong period character. It will suit purchasers who value outdoor living, onsite parking/garaging and a conservation-area setting, and who are comfortable carrying out measured improvements to thermal performance and some internal finishes.
