Set in an attractive semi-rural setting near Montford Bridge, this neatly presented three-bedroom detached cottage blends character details with recent sympathetic renovation. The house sits on a generous plot of about 0.35 acres with lawns backing directly onto farmland, creating a peaceful family garden and strong scope for outdoor living.
Internally the layout suits family life: a large farmhouse-style kitchen with island and bifold doors to the patio, a living room with inglenook and log-burning stove, utility, ground-floor shower room and a flexible family/studio room that could serve as home office or annexe (subject to consents). The property benefits from contemporary fittings and energy upgrades including 4.68kW PV panels, a 3.68kW inverter and a 10kWh battery, reducing daytime electricity reliance.
Practical points to note: heating is by oil-fired boiler with radiators; drainage is to a private system. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and the walls are cavity-built with no confirmed insulation. There is ample gated gravel driveway parking with room to add garaging (subject to planning) and low local crime in an affluent, rural neighbourhood. Council Tax currently sits at band D.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking a peaceful country family residence with immediate move-in quality, strong outdoor amenity and potential to adapt or extend. Those prioritising fast broadband, gas mains heating or a mains sewer should be aware of the property's rural service constraints.
