A compact two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage set on a quiet village street, offered freehold at £250,000. The house combines period character—exposed beams and traditional layout—with practical updates such as luxury vinyl ground-floor flooring and bathroom underfloor heating. The small, unoverlooked garden and conservatory extend usable space and provide private outdoor access. The loft has good head height and offers realistic scope for a conversion (subject to planning), adding future value.
The interior is modest in scale: rooms are cosy with low ceilings and measured at about 473 sq ft overall. Two double bedrooms and defined living and dining areas suit a first home or a couple seeking a rural base with local amenities. Broadband speeds are fast and the area records low crime, supporting everyday convenience despite the village location.
Buyers should note material concerns plainly. The property is in a small size category and will feel compact; some elements indicate a need for modernization and repair, and historic images reference damp in parts—inspectors should check for damp and structural issues. The location falls in a high flood-risk zone, which may affect insurance and long-term maintenance costs.
This home will appeal to first-time buyers or budget-focused purchasers who prioritise character and location and are prepared to invest in improvements. With careful upgrading and possible loft conversion, the cottage offers clear potential to increase living space and resale value while enjoying a peaceful village setting.
