Characterful village home with private garden and summer house.
Grade II listed cottage with original beams and feature fireplace
A charming Grade II listed stone cottage in the heart of Winteringham, Silver Cottage blends authentic period character with usable living space. The dual-aspect lounge with exposed beams and a brick fireplace creates a warm, characterful focal point, while the fitted cottage kitchen and external utility room make day-to-day living convenient. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a ground-floor bathroom suit a small family, couple or those looking to downsize without losing character.
The enclosed, mature rear garden is a definite asset: lawn, raised patio and a timber summer house offer private outdoor space for relaxation, play or a home office. Practical elements include double glazing (install date unknown), LPG boiler and radiators, and a separate utility room to keep chores out of the main living areas. Council tax is described as low/cheap and the village location benefits from very low local crime, good broadband and nearby outstanding primary schooling.
Important practical points for buyers: this property is sold by the Modern Method of Auction and is subject to a reserve price, auction buyer fees and a non-refundable reservation fee (details in the Buyer Information Pack). The Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs or extensions. Flood risk is described as high for this location — buyers must confirm flood cover and insurance availability before committing.
Overall this is a character-rich two-bedroom cottage that will suit someone who values period features and village living. It offers immediate occupation with scope to update or sensitively restore (within listing constraints) to add value. Because of the auction route, listed status and flood risk, this is best viewed by buyers who have arranged finance/insurance and understand conservation responsibilities.
