This detached cottage dates from 1704 and offers a rare slice of Minster history alongside practical family living. The house combines original features — low beamed ceilings, exposed brickwork, inglenook fireplace and quirky cupboards — with flexible living spaces including a long attic bedroom and two ground-floor reception rooms currently used as office and study. It is not listed, so alterations and modernization are possible without listed-building restrictions.
Set on a small plot with an enclosed rear lawn and off-street parking, the garden feels private and sheltered by mature planting. The layout already provides four bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en suites), making it suitable for family life. French doors from the kitchen/breakfast area open to the garden and there are convenient village amenities, a nearby primary school and a railway station close by.
Buyers should note some trade-offs: the property has low ceilings in parts, a small plot, and a layout that will suit some families better after updating. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is above average for the area. The neighbourhood sits in a wider area classified as deprived, which may influence longer-term value trends.
For someone seeking character and potential, this house presents an opportunity to blend modern living with genuine period charm. It will particularly suit families who prioritise proximity to schools, village amenities and a quiet, historic setting, and who are willing to invest in sympathetic refurbishment to unlock the home’s full potential.
