Set on an elevated plot with expansive valley views, this detached three-bedroom stone cottage blends period character with comfortable family living. Original features — exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and stone walls — give the house warmth and charm, while double glazing and mains gas central heating provide practical modern comforts. The property offers two reception rooms, a modern-style galley kitchen with Belfast sink, and generous principal bedroom with an adjoining store. Outside, a terraced garden with raised decking, outhouse and off-street parking create useful outdoor and storage space.
The cottage sits on a large plot in Starkholmes, within easy reach of village amenities and highly regarded local schools. The elevated position delivers attractive countryside views from several rooms and from the rear decking, making the garden a private spot for relaxation. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the area is notably affluent with low crime, which supports family living or a long-term owner-occupier investment.
Important practical points: the house was constructed before 1900 with stone walls and may need targeted insulation work to improve thermal performance. The EPC is band D and there is a single family bathroom, so buyers wanting lower running costs or more bathrooms should factor potential upgrades into their plans. Access to the property is steep; a drive-by is recommended to check suitability for visitors or residents with limited mobility. Overall this is a spacious, characterful cottage that will reward buyers who appreciate period detail and who are prepared for modest retrofit improvements.
