Characterful 3-bed cottage with large drive, garage and rural views — scope to modernise.
Victorian semi-detached cottage with countryside views
Set back from the lane in a peaceful hamlet, this Victorian semi-detached cottage combines period charm with practical family living. The house sits on a large plot with an expansive driveway and single garage, plus a lawned rear garden and stone patio that capture far-reaching countryside views. Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: a bright sitting room, generous kitchen/diner, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom above.
The property will suit buyers looking for a rural family home or those wanting a characterful house with scope to update. Double glazing has been installed since 2002 and the home benefits from oil-fired central heating via boiler and radiators; an external oil tank and boiler are in place. The EPC rating is E and there are opportunities to improve energy efficiency and layout if desired.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds in the area are very slow and mobile coverage is average, which may affect remote working. There is no step-free access from street to interior, and the single bathroom and oil heating are features to factor into long-term running costs. Council Tax band C is listed as affordable and flood risk is very low. Overall this is a comfortable, characterful cottage on a substantial plot in a quiet, affluent rural setting.
