Set in the village of Water, this characterful three-bedroom terraced cottage combines period charm with practical modern updates. The house spans four levels and includes a generous principal bedroom, a vaulted third bedroom, and an open-plan living/dining area that opens onto a paved rear patio with uninterrupted brook views. Double glazing and gas central heating provide comfort year-round.
The bespoke kitchen and useful cellar offer storage and conversion potential, while the large landing and flexible room layout suit home working or family life. Outside, a small front garden and an established rear patio/garden provide private outdoor space with peaceful water views and easy access to local walks and amenities.
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of E and is constructed from uninsulated stone walls (as-built), which may affect running costs. The plot is small and the house was built c.1900–1929, so buyers should consider potential maintenance, insulation upgrades, and any modernisation to meet personal preferences.
This home will suit buyers seeking rural character within commuting distance of nearby towns, families wanting good local schools, or purchasers who value a distinctive cottage with scope to improve energy performance. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting and versatile layout.
