A charming Victorian stone cottage on Elms Hill, offering period character, elevated valley views and a practical layout for a small family or couple. Two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a paved rear sitting area with a large decked sun terrace provide comfortable living and flexible entertaining space. Off-street parking bay and a modest front garden add everyday convenience in this village-edge location.
The house sits close to the village centre with shops, cafes, a train station and regular buses within easy walking distance. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, including a top-10% primary, making this a sensible choice for families wanting village amenities with good school options. Energy performance sits at Band C (73) and the property is freehold with very low council tax (Band A).
Buyers should note material points plainly: the cottage dates from the 1870s and has solid sandstone/limestone walls with no assumed cavity insulation, so further insulation or upgrades may be desirable. The area records above-average crime and local deprivation scores are higher than average — factors to weigh when deciding. The house is modest in size (around 670 sq ft) and has a single bathroom; buyers seeking larger family accommodation may find it compact. Some period properties of this age also require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic refurbishment.
Overall, this attractive, quirky cottage will suit buyers who prioritise character, views and proximity to village amenities and good schools, and who are comfortable with some conservation-era maintenance and possible upgrades to thermal performance.
