Middle Cottage is a compact two-double-bedroom mid-terrace stone cottage dating from circa 1800, set at the end of a quiet no-through lane with far-reaching countryside views. Character remains strong inside — exposed stonework, beams, an inglenook-style fireplace and a wood-burning stove give the principal room a cosy, traditional feel. The kitchen and bathroom are relatively modern and the home benefits from double glazing, electric underfloor heating and fast Gigaclear broadband.
Practical advantages include an enclosed front and rear garden, off-street parking for one to two cars and a very low Council Tax band A. The property is offered freehold and with no onward chain, which will suit buyers wanting a straightforward move. At about 581 sq ft the layout is compact and efficient, making the cottage suitable for downsizers, couples or those seeking a second home in the countryside.
Buyers should note material considerations: the location is in a hamlet with average mobile signal and some local services limited; the building is stone with assumed lack of wall insulation which may affect running costs despite underfloor electric heating. There is a reported high flood risk for the area — purchasers must satisfy themselves about flood mitigation, insurance costs and any necessary precautions. EPC rating D indicates moderate energy performance.
Overall this is a characterful, small rural cottage with immediate curb appeal and sensible modern conveniences. It represents a manageable project for someone who values village seclusion and period charm, but buyers who require higher levels of insulation, strong mobile reception or a zero-flood-risk plot should check these points before committing.
