This small one-bedroom Victorian cottage packs period charm into a compact footprint. Exposed beams, a cast-iron log burner and a solid oak kitchen give immediate character and comfortable living for a single occupant or couple. The property sits on a quiet lane at the village edge with countryside walks and Nottingham University Sutton Bonington campus only a short walk away.
Practical features include gas central heating to radiators, part double glazing, two brick storage outbuildings and a low-cost council tax band. A shared courtyard garden with artificial lawn provides an easy-to-maintain outdoor space and pleasant church views. The layout is traditional and straightforward: lounge, kitchen, bedroom and a contemporary shower room.
The cottage is small (about 356 sq ft) and will suit a first-time buyer, commuter or landlord seeking a rental close to the university. The building is solid brick (likely without wall insulation) and some updating or insulation work would improve comfort and energy performance — factor renovation costs into any offer.
