This compact mid-terrace cottage blends original character with recent energy upgrades, making it an attractive first home or investment. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and stripped floorboards give a strong period feel, while new double glazing, loft and wall insulation, solar panels and an air source heat pump significantly improve efficiency.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors with two reception rooms (one used as a study/third bedroom), a fitted kitchen, shower room and separate cloakroom. Room sizes are modest and ceiling heights are low, so the layout suits buyers comfortable with cosy, characterful spaces rather than large, open-plan living.
Outside, a fully enclosed cottage-style garden with a new shed provides private outdoor space and countryside views. The property is freehold and set in a peaceful village location with good broadband and local primary schooling nearby — convenient for commuting or working from home.
Important practical notes: the house is small (around 579 sq ft) with traditional stone walls assumed to lack cavity insulation; heating is electric-based (electric storage heaters listed) despite the new air source heat pump, so buyers should confirm heating system details and running costs. Council tax is very low. Layout and size make the cottage especially suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers seeking character, or investors exploring holiday-let potential.
