Set in a peaceful village hamlet, this Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage combines authentic period character with practical family spaces. The living room and adjoining dining room feature exposed beams and a brick fireplace, while a separate kitchen, utility room and downstairs WC make daily living straightforward. The property sits on a large plot with both front and rear gardens, plus garage and off-road parking.
The house will suit a family seeking countryside character close to local primary schools and green walking routes. Bedrooms are well proportioned and the single family bathroom serves the upstairs. The layout offers potential to reconfigure or update rooms to suit modern family life, while retaining original features that create a warm, cottage feel.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status, which will restrict alterations and may slow renovation plans. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated; there is double glazing installed before 2002. These factors mean prospective purchasers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and seek listed-building advice before changes.
Overall, this is a characterful village home with generous outside space and parking — attractive for families seeking a rural lifestyle — but it requires informed renovation and running-cost consideration because of listed constraints and the existing heating and insulation specification.
