Renovated two-bedroom retreat with garden and private parking.
Category C listed building — alterations likely restricted
A Category C listed stone cottage offering period character and a manageable garden in quiet rural surroundings. The property was extensively renovated in 2016 and benefits from full double glazing and a working heating system, making it comfortable and mostly move-in ready for buyers seeking a low‑maintenance country home.
Internally there is a large living room with an open fire and beamed ceilings, a fitted kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms with eaves storage. Outside provides a sizable front garden, further rear garden ground and private off‑street parking — useful for everyday living and occasional visitors.
Practical drawbacks are clear and should be considered: the listed status will restrict some alterations and could complicate works such as insulation or structural changes. The building’s stone walls are assumed uninsulated, and the property uses oil-fired central heating (LPG is also noted in the services), which may be less economical than mains gas. The cottage sits in a very deprived area classification, which may affect local services and resale dynamics.
For someone downsizing from a larger home or seeking a second rural base, this cottage mixes traditional character with recent renovation. There is additional potential if planning allows opening up the external stone store into the living space, but any such project will require listed-building consents and local planning approval.
