Sunny Cottage is a fully refurbished three-bedroom character home in Upper Broughton, finished to combine period detail with modern conveniences. A 2015 renovation delivered a contemporary fitted kitchen, new gas central heating, and double glazing, while original oak beams and vaulted ceilings retain the cottage’s heritage appeal. Two off-road parking spaces and an established, enclosed garden provide practical village living.
The ground floor centres on an L-shaped open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with a log-burning stove and French doors to a paved patio — ideal for family life and entertaining. A separate lounge with exposed timber beams offers a quieter sitting room. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, the master benefiting from striking vaulted ceilings, plus a single contemporary family bathroom.
Running costs are favourable for a property of this age, reflected by an impressive energy rating (79/88). The cottage sits in an affluent, low-crime village with good local schools and basic amenities nearby, and excellent mobile signal. Broadband is average, so streaming or home working may be slower than in urban areas.
Notable practical points: the house is built of solid brick and was constructed before 1900, so wall insulation is assumed absent and may need upgrading for further improved efficiency. There is one family bathroom only. The property is freehold, semi-detached, and sized around 1,077 sq ft — comfortable but not generous for larger families. Overall this is a characterful, move-in-ready village home with scope for targeted energy improvements.
