Millwood Cottage is a spacious three-bedroom Edwardian-style semi on a very large plot, offering private woodland access and generous gardens ideal for family life. The ground floor’s bay-fronted lounge, second sitting room and open-plan country kitchen create flexible living spaces. High ceilings, an orangery and exposed Cheshire brick fireplace give strong period character.
The house has been partly renovated: many improvements started but not completed. The upstairs bathroom and full redecoration remain unfinished, so the new owner can personalise finishes. There is clear potential to convert the loft (previously planned) to add accommodation or storage, subject to consents.
Practical features include recent triple glazing that reduces road noise, two log-burning stoves for ambience and mains gas central heating. Externally there is parking for multiple vehicles, a detached garage, and outbuildings (former stable block). The home is offered freehold and sits in a peaceful village setting with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note the property requires further renovation work and some insulation improvements: walls are original solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation. The layout and plot size make this a strong option for a family seeking character, outdoor space and scope to improve value.
