Charming 4-bed cottage with countryside views, parking and courtyard entertaining space.
Four bedrooms including principal with en suite
This four-bedroom character cottage sits in a semi-rural spot on Stane Street with front-facing countryside views and off-street parking for three to four cars accessed via a private lane. Inside, original exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace in the cosy lounge and a country-style kitchen with a log-burning stove create a warm, lived-in atmosphere. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite and there’s a versatile top-floor double with a dormer and vaulted ceiling for guests, a home office or studio.
Practical features include double glazing throughout, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for modern family life — plus a separate brick outbuilding that offers scope as a utility room, study or studio. The courtyard patio with an outdoor fireplace provides a private entertaining space and the plot is described as a decent size with mature planting in the front garden.
Notable matters: the external brick-built utility has WC connections but is unfinished and will require completion; heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators (not a community system); and the property records cavity walls with no installed insulation (as built). Council tax is above average. Also note a discrepancy in age: construction data lists 1967–1975, while other descriptions suggest much older character origins — buyers should clarify the building’s verified age and construction history.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and countryside tranquillity with parking and good digital connectivity. It offers immediate charm with clear scope for improvement and modernisation where desired, making it suitable for growing families or those wanting flexible space close to local schools and countryside amenities.
