Brook Cottage is a stone-built period home in the peaceful village of Lydbury North, offered chain free. The cottage retains authentic character — exposed beams, a feature fireplace and sash-style windows — and benefits from off-street gated parking and a detached garage/workshop.
The layout provides two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, study area and separate shower room and WC. It sits on a small plot with an enclosed patio garden and shed, and is close to a well-regarded primary school, making it suitable for first-time buyers or a small family seeking a quiet rural base.
The property requires modernisation throughout: services include oil-fired boiler heating and some electric heating, cavity walls appear uninsulated, and general updating is needed to bring rooms up to contemporary standards. There is a reported history of flooding within the past five years — buyers should obtain full flood and drainage information and consider insurance implications.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low local crime, relatively low council tax (Band B), fast broadband availability, and no onward chain for a quicker purchase. The cottage is presented as a period project with scope to improve energy efficiency, layout and finishes to unlock further value.
