This attractive stone cottage on Lower Street combines period character with generous space, ideal for a growing family seeking village life. The house offers three double bedrooms, a dual-aspect sitting room and a conservatory that opens onto a west-facing patio and large lawn — plenty of room for children and outdoor entertaining.
A major asset is the substantial adjacent barn/double garage (approx. 34'4" x 16'6") with power and light. It provides secure parking and versatile workshop or annexe potential, though it now requires repair and any change of use would need planning permission. Note the garage roofing sheets may contain asbestos and the original stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so some maintenance and upgrade work is likely.
The accommodation is practically arranged with a separate dining room, fitted kitchen, useful downstairs cloakroom and garden store. Modern comforts include UPVC double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators; mains services and fast broadband are available. The home sits in a conservation area in a very affluent, low-crime village with good amenities, recreation facilities and road links to the A303/A30.
Important practical notes: the property is Freehold, around 2,014 sqft and in Council Tax Band E. There is only one family bathroom. Buyers should budget for updating and potential insulation improvements to the stone walls, and consider asbestos risk in the garage roofing. Overall, this is a rare, sizeable village cottage with flexible outbuildings for those willing to invest in sensible improvements.
