Stunning countryside views from kitchen and upstairs rooms.
Compact two-bed layout — approx. 627 sq ft across two floors.
Freehold tenure with very low council tax and no flood risk.

Heating via community electric scheme — limited individual control.
On-street parking only; no dedicated off-street parking.
This charming stone-built cottage offers character-filled living in a semi-rural hamlet, ideal for first-time buyers seeking period detail and countryside views. Exposed beams, a stone fireplace and a wood-burning stove create a cosy living space, while the dining-kitchen looks out over attractive rural scenery.
The house is compact (approx. 627 sq ft) with two bedrooms and a family bathroom across two floors. Practical positives include double glazing (install date unknown), very low council tax and no flood risk. The property is freehold and sits in a prospering countryside area with good local schools and basic village amenities nearby.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the exterior stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, broadband speeds are very slow, and heating is via a community electric scheme (limited individual control). Parking is on-street only and the cottage will suit buyers comfortable with period maintenance and modest space rather than those seeking modern, high-spec finishes.
This cottage is best for buyers who value character, views and village life and are prepared to make modest upgrades (insulation, broadband and any personalization) to improve comfort and energy performance. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting and internal character.
