This two-bedroom cottage sits in a peaceful semi-rural village setting with an unusually large plot and enclosed rear garden. The home is arranged over two floors and includes a separate garden room that works well as a snug or home office, plus off-street parking—good practical space for a small family or someone seeking countryside quiet.
The property has character features from its pre-1900 construction and benefits from double glazing (installed before 2002) and an economical council tax band. Heating is a mix of systems: gas central heating is present, but the recorded main fuel sources include wood logs and room heaters, so you should expect a hybrid heating setup and varying running costs.
There is clear potential to modernise and improve insulation (stone walls are assumed uninsulated), making this cottage a good project for buyers who want to add value through targeted renovations. The village offers everyday amenities, good primary schools nearby and the outstanding Dene Magna secondary school in the catchment—convenient for families.
Important practical note: the septic tank serving the property is shared and located on the neighbour’s land; maintenance responsibilities and costs are shared. This is a material ongoing commitment and should be checked before exchange.
