Built around 1771, this detached period cottage combines character features with practical family space in the heart of Capel St Mary. Exposed beams, original timbers and a cosy snug with a log burner give immediate cottage charm, while the L-shaped living/dining room and adjoining conservatory provide flexible daytime living and garden access.
The kitchen and utility are serviceable with traditional fittings and integrated appliances, but parts of the property show a dated finish and low ceilings in places — an open opportunity for sympathetic updating. The home has double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of D; the solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal efficiency would be worthwhile.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, suitable for a growing household or a couple wanting spare rooms. Outside, the enclosed south-facing garden with established beds, an olive tree, powered studio/summerhouse and a large powered shed extend the living space. Two off-street parking spaces and very low local crime add convenience and security.
This property will suit buyers seeking character and village living with scope to improve energy performance and modernise interior finishes. It is offered freehold, close to local shops, good schools and fast broadband — a comfortable family home with clear renovation potential.
