This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage, part of a 1906 Rolls Estate terrace by Sir Aston Webb, offers a rare combination of period character and broad countryside views. The home retains many original features — fireplaces, fitted cupboards, bay window and a sunroom — and sits in a neat front garden with a sunny rear lawn and mature shrubs. Off-street parking for two vehicles and a useful shed add everyday convenience on a decent plot.
The layout works well for downsizers or those seeking a peaceful rural retreat: a flexible ground-floor reception/bedroom, a character-filled lounge with wood-burning stove, a well-equipped kitchen and a principal bedroom with Velux countryside outlook. Two bathrooms and boarded eaves storage increase practicality in a compact footprint of about 910 sq ft.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building; its Grade II status will restrict alterations and may increase costs and lead times for repairs or refurbishment. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — important if you work from home. The cottage is in a remote, agricultural area with very low crime but higher local deprivation scores.
Overall, this home suits someone who values architectural character, tranquil views and a manageable garden, and who accepts listed-building constraints and rural infrastructure limits.
