Orchard Cottage is a classic late‑Victorian/earlier period semi detached cottage set on a large, secluded plot on Moor Lane. The house retains genuine character: natural stone fireplace, exposed beams and fitted wardrobes, plus a versatile detached outbuilding (25’2" x 10’11") that could serve as a workshop, studio or home office. A long driveway provides convenient off‑street parking for several vehicles, and the mature garden with fruit trees and paved terrace is ideal for family life or entertaining.
The layout suits a family seeking period charm with practical space: sitting room with open fire, snug, kitchen with solid wood worktops, dining/family room opening onto the patio, three bedrooms and a first‑floor cloakroom in addition to the ground‑floor bath/shower room. The property is chain‑free and freehold, with mains gas heating via boiler and radiators and double glazing (installation date unknown).
Buyers should note the cottage needs renovation and redecoration: some systems and finishes are dated, wall insulation is likely absent (stone walls assumed uninsulated) and the house would benefit from modernisation throughout. There is a medium flood risk in the area, and only one full bathroom. These factors temper the price but also create scope for value‑adding improvement works and personalisation.
Overall this is a generous family cottage in a quiet town‑edge location with strong outdoor space and conversion/extension potential (subject to consents). It will appeal to buyers who value character and space and are prepared to invest in sympathetic updating to unlock long‑term value.
