Summary - Bilson House, Valley Road GL14 2NY
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Character cottage on a generous plot with clear renovation potential for the right buyer.
Extremely large plot with detached garage and timber shed
Many original character features: beams, latch doors, feature fireplace
Fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, and mains gas boiler present
Double glazing fitted (install date unknown)
Solid brick walls assumed with no insulation — likely energy upgrades needed
Dated decor and low ceilings in parts; cosmetic renovation required
Attached outbuilding offers additional scope but may need repair
Cash purchasers preferred; not marketed as mortgage-ready
This two-bedroom semi-detached cottage on Valley Road offers genuine character and scope for improvement on a very large plot. Rooms feature exposed beams and a feature stone fireplace, while a fitted kitchen, bathroom and gas boiler provide immediate functionality. A detached garage and attached outbuilding add useful storage and project potential for garden or hobby space.
The property will suit a buyer seeking period character and value-adding scope rather than a turnkey home. There are practical positives — double glazing, mains gas central heating and no flood risk — but the house shows signs of age: dated fittings, low ceilings in places and assumed solid brick walls with no known insulation. Buyers should expect cosmetic work and likely improvements to heating/insulation to modernise comfort and efficiency.
The large plot and outbuilding present clear potential for extension, garden landscaping, or creating an ancillary space (subject to consents). The vendor is marketing for cash purchasers only, so budget and purchase route should be considered. This freehold cottage suits someone wanting to invest time and money to unlock long-term value in a character home within reach of local schools and amenities.
