Set on a generous 0.13-acre plot in sought-after Hartlip, this two-bedroom semi-detached period house combines village tranquillity with substantial outdoor space. The property has a large driveway and detached garage, mature garden and far-reaching views from the first-floor bedrooms. Fast broadband and a 1.37-mile distance to Newington rail station add practical convenience for commuters.
The house is solid-brick, built c.1900–1929, with original sash windows and double glazing installed before 2002. The interior layout includes a country-style kitchen/breakfast room, ground-floor WC and a spacious lounge, plus two double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. At approximately 1,356 sq ft overall, room sizes feel generous for a two-bedroom home.
Buyers should note key fabric and services: walls are assumed uninsulated solid brick and many rooms currently rely on portable electric heaters; the glazing is older and the main fuel is a mix of mineral and wood. These factors mean heating and insulation upgrades will substantially improve comfort and running costs. Council tax is moderate and the property is freehold with no flood risk.
This is ideal for purchasers seeking village character and outdoor space: families wanting good local primary schools, buyers looking to downsize without compromising room sizes, or owners keen to invest in energy-efficiency improvements. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot, garage and potential for sympathetic retrofit and modernisation.
