This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage on Watling Street offers a ready-to-move-in village home with period character and modern comforts. Recent sympathetic renovations retain exposed brickwork and a log-burning stove while adding a refitted shaker kitchen, contemporary shower room and gas-fired central heating. The compact layout is efficient: a cozy sitting room flows into an open-plan kitchen and a private, low-maintenance walled courtyard sits to the rear.
Offered with no onward chain, the house is well suited to first-time buyers or those downsizing who want a manageable, characterful home close to village amenities and good motorway links. The two first-floor bedrooms are flexible — both will accept double beds or can be repurposed as an office, nursery or dressing room. Fast broadband, low local crime and nearby schools add practical appeal.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status, which may limit alterations and complicate some works. The building’s solid brick construction means walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, and the EPC rating of E reflects energy-performance limitations. The rear courtyard is small but private and low-maintenance; there is shared gated access for bins and bikes.
In short, this cottage delivers period charm and modern convenience in a sought-after village setting, but buyers who want major remodelling or deep energy upgrades should factor in listed-building constraints and potential additional costs.
