This traditional two-bedroom detached cottage offers compact, comfortable living in an attractive rural setting. Set on a small but well-established plot, the house retains character features such as a brickwork fireplace, cottage stone exterior and a private rear garden with mature trees and a pond — ideal for downsizers who want low-maintenance outdoor space and room for a small workshop or storage in the outbuilding.
Internally the layout works well for everyday life: a bright living room, separate dining room, snug/study and a practical kitchen with built-in oven and Bosch hob. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a generous family bathroom; the landing houses the airing cupboard and hot water cylinder. Practical extras include a utility room, ground-floor WC, off-street parking and fast broadband — useful for part-time home working or staying connected in a remoter community.
There are a few practical considerations: the plot is relatively small, so outdoor scope for large-scale landscaping is limited, and the property is an older period cottage so prospective buyers should expect older fixtures and typical maintenance associated with older homes. The immediate area is a hamlet with limited amenities (a post box only on the street), though larger nearby centres and a range of schools — mixed Ofsted ratings — are within reach.
Offered freehold and chain free, this cottage suits someone seeking a peaceful countryside base with character and manageable upkeep, rather than a turnkey modern renovation. It will particularly appeal to downsizers or those wanting a second country home with parking and a private garden.
