Grade II listed village cottage with tiered south garden and valley views.
Grade II listed stone cottage with original period features
This Grade II listed two-bedroom stone cottage in Jack Bridge Cottages blends authentic period character with practical modern updates. Exposed stone walls, mullion windows and beamed ceilings retain historic charm, while a well-equipped kitchen, double glazing and a gas boiler provide everyday convenience. The lounge’s wood-burning stove and large stone fireplace create a cosy focal point for colder months.
The south-facing, tiered garden is a standout: patios, a pond, raised beds, a polytunnel and panoramic valley views provide excellent outdoor living and productive growing space on a small plot. Internally there is sensible storage including fitted wardrobes, under-stairs cupboards and a fully boarded loft, useful for decluttering or occasional storage needs.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The Grade II listing means any alterations will require consent and may limit changes. The cottage sits in a medium flood-risk area beside a stream and has no mobile signal; broadband speeds are average. The original stone walls are likely uninsulated, so heating costs could be higher than modern builds despite the condensing gas boiler and multi-fuel stove.
Overall, this well-cared-for property will suit a buyer who values character, a strong rural location and a managed garden, and who is comfortable with the constraints of listed status and the practical considerations of riverside village living.
