This charming Grade II listed one-bedroom cottage in Whitchurch offers an attractive, chain-free entry into village life. Recently refreshed with new front and rear windows, a completed damp course and redecorated interiors, the house feels well cared-for while retaining period character – exposed beams, timber framing and a cosy layout.
The accommodation includes a spacious lounge, large fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and a first-floor double bedroom with ensuite W.C. Outside, a south-facing rear garden with decking and a powered summerhouse adds private outdoor space for relaxing or working from home. The property sits in a quiet, affluent village with good primary and outstanding secondary schools nearby, low crime and excellent mobile signal.
There are some practical considerations to note. As a listed building, any alterations will be restricted and may require consent; this could complicate extensions or major modernisation. Broadband speeds are very slow and the heating runs from an oil-fired boiler to radiators. The walls are original solid brick and likely uninsulated, and room sizes and ceiling heights are generally small — factors to consider if you plan significant energy upgrades or internal remodelling.
Overall this cottage suits a first-time buyer or downsizer wanting an immediately liveable, characterful home in a sought-after rural village. It also offers potential for a buy-to-let buyer seeking a low-maintenance, chain-free investment, provided they accept the listed-status constraints and current energy/broadband limitations.
