Summary - ROWANLEA, STATION ROAD KY1 4DP
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Affordable period cottage with countryside outlooks and clear renovation potential.
Detached single-storey cottage with open field views front and rear
This detached three-bedroom cottage in Thornton is a characterful, single-storey home offering open countryside views to front and rear. The property is priced below the Home Report valuation, presenting clear value for a buyer willing to invest in refurbishment. Internally the layout includes a lounge, functional kitchen, three bedrooms (or two plus dining room) and a family bathroom — rooms are modest but useable and retain period features such as fireplaces and a shelved alcove.
Important practical points are straightforward and honest: the property requires modernisation throughout, the boiler is labelled unsafe and there is currently no working central heating, and the rear garden is overgrown and needs clearing. The windows and doors are UPVC double glazed, but other systems and finishes will need upgrading. The cottage is small (approximately 509 sq ft) so it will suit buyers comfortable with compact living or a limited renovation footprint.
Positioned in the popular village of Thornton, the home benefits from good transport links (rail and A92 access), local shops and village amenities, and peaceful rural outlooks. The asking price of £160,000 sits below the Home Report value of £180,000, offering scope for purchasers to add value through sympathetic refurbishment. Note the local area records higher deprivation indices; prospective buyers should weigh community services and investment context when deciding.
This property will appeal most to downsizers or buyers seeking an affordable project with character and countryside views. It is offered freehold with Council Tax band D and an Energy Efficiency Rating of E. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the outlook and to assess the renovation scope in person.
