Compact internal size approximately 680 sq ft — cosy rather than spacious
Large private garden and generous plot with landscaping potential
Single family bathroom only; may be tight for larger families

Double glazing installed before 2002; thermal upgrades advised
Stone walls likely uninsulated (built before 1900) — retrofit needed
Freehold, no flood risk, cheap council tax
This end-of-terrace character cottage sits on a generous plot in Cleobury Mortimer, a small market town with shops, pubs and good primary schools nearby. The ground floor offers a welcoming living room with exposed beam and feature fireplace, plus a rear kitchen overlooking the private garden. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a single family bathroom — practical for family living or flexible use as home office/guest rooms.
The house retains original stone walls and period character but requires some updating. Double glazing installed before 2002 and older oil-fired boiler mean buyers should budget for energy improvements and possible heating upgrades. The property’s compact internal size (approx. 680 sq ft) makes it more suited to buyers seeking a cosy, characterful home rather than large-family accommodation.
Outside, the large plot and established garden are notable assets, offering space for landscaping, a larger patio, or a side extension (subject to consents). With freehold tenure and no flood risk, the cottage represents a straightforward purchase for someone prepared to modernise and personalise to increase comfort and energy efficiency.
Suitable buyers will be families wanting proximity to local schools, professionals seeking a rural-town base with good mobile signal, or buyers looking for a renovation project with strong character and outdoor space. Important drawbacks: single bathroom, oil heating, older glazing, and assumed uninsulated stone walls — all factors to consider for running costs and refurbishment budget.
