Light-filled upside-down living and a south-west facing garden make this semi-detached home a comfortable, low-maintenance choice for downsizers or those seeking village life. The first-floor lounge/diner opens via sliding doors onto a patio, maximising afternoon sun and open rear views. A practical kitchen with space for informal dining sits alongside, while two double bedrooms and a bathroom are on the ground floor for easy access.
Practical features include private allocated courtyard parking, decent plot size and freehold tenure. The property’s 1996–2002 construction and double glazing suggest reasonable thermal performance, but the main heating is an oil-fired boiler which can be more expensive and requires an external supply. The EPC rating of D is indicative of scope to improve energy efficiency and running costs.
At about 710 sq ft the layout is compact but cleverly arranged with useful understairs storage and an efficient room count. The upside-down arrangement prioritises views and outdoor access but may not suit everyone preferring conventional layouts. There is clear potential to personalise the interior and improve energy performance, which could add value and reduce ongoing costs.
Set in a quiet courtyard within Temple Sowerby village, local amenities include a primary school rated Good, a church, shop and bus links. Low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the home well suited to modern rural living. Buyers should note the single bathroom and oil heating when assessing suitability.
