This Grade II listed former coaching inn is a rare, characterful cottage in Hilderstone, full of exposed beams, brick fireplaces and vaulted ceilings. The house has been extended and retains two reception rooms plus a breakfast kitchen, offering a warm, lived-in feel and genuine period charm. The rear garden is notably large for a cottage and provides a private, green outlook and room for a shed or planting.
The layout works well for a couple or small family: two double bedrooms upstairs, a bathroom with separate bath and shower, and living spaces that flow from lounge to dining room to kitchen. Practical features include gas central heating, off-street parking for two (accessed via a right of way over the village hall car park) and an affordable council tax band.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed property with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) which will restrict some alterations and could increase maintenance and energy costs. The property is small overall (about 400 sq ft) and may need sympathetic updating to improve thermal performance — any major works will require listed-building consent. Access to parking is via a shared route rather than private driveway.
For those who value character over a new build, this cottage delivers authenticity, a generous garden and village living with countryside on the doorstep. It suits buyers prepared to manage listed‑building constraints and to invest in sensitive improvements to enhance comfort and efficiency.
