Set on about 1.3 acres in a quiet country lane, this detached two-bedroom cottage offers semi-rural living with wide open views and only one nearby neighbour. The house includes three reception rooms, a practical porch/boot room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom, plus extensive outbuildings: garage, brick workshop, stores, covered carport and numerous sheds. The mature gardens, small copse and a grass paddock are genuine strengths for anyone wanting outdoor space, hobby-room potential or small-scale equestrian use.
The property is heated by an oil-fired boiler with double glazing fitted after 2002 and retains period character such as decorative brickwork and fireplaces. Accommodation is spacious with several principal reception rooms that can be adapted to suit contemporary living or left as separate sitting and dining spaces. The large plot and multiple outbuildings create scope for garden projects, storage, or ancillary conversions subject to consents.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property lies in a high flood-risk area and is in a very deprived wider area; broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average. Some interior elements are dated and will need updating, and the oil heating means ongoing fuel costs and periodic servicing. These factors affect running costs and versatility for remote working.
This home will suit someone seeking a peaceful countryside base with lots of outdoor room — ideal for downsizers who prioritise garden, privacy and outbuildings over instant turnkey condition. Investors or renovators may also value the plot and conversion potential, but must allow for flood mitigation, utility limitations and modernization works.
