Compact character cottage close to town centre — chain free, ideal for downsizing or a single buyer.
Grade II listed stone cottage, chain free and freehold
A compact Grade II listed stone cottage set just off a no-through pathway, offering immediate, chain-free occupation. The ground floor open-plan kitchen/living room has stone floors, a feature fireplace and underfloor heating; a small courtyard provides private outdoor space. The first-floor bedroom and bathroom are modest but practical for a single occupant or couple.
This property will suit a buyer seeking character and town-centre convenience — shops, services and public transport are within easy reach. The layout and period features create a cosy, historic feel; modern comforts include a fitted kitchen, extractor fan and plumbing for a washing machine. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are reported as good.
Important considerations: listing status means repairs, alterations and replacement windows may face restrictions and added costs. Rooms are small, ceilings on the ground floor are low in places, windows are single glazed and heating is electric — buyers should budget for potential improvement works and a specialist survey. The area is noted as relatively deprived, though council tax is very low (Band A).
Chain-free sale and freehold tenure simplify purchase logistics. For a downsizer or buyer prioritising location and character over space, this cottage offers a manageable, low-footprint home with scope for sympathetic updating where permitted by its listed status.
