A beautifully kept three-bedroom cottage tucked away in Old Ockbrook, directly overlooking the village church. The home blends period character—exposed beams, sash-style windows and stone fireplace—with practical modern fittings: limestone travertine flooring, two bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen and utility. The private, well-stocked garden and paved terrace create a sunny, sheltered outdoor living and entertaining space, complete with an outdoor timber kitchen/store and attractive planting.
The layout suits a family or couple seeking village life with good commuter links. Bedrooms are generous, the principal suite occupies the top floor, and living space includes separate lounge and dining rooms with French doors to the garden. There is also scope to extend, subject to planning permission, for anyone wanting extra space or to increase value.
Buyers should note clear, factual drawbacks: the house is a pre-1900 solid-wall build and insulation is assumed absent; double glazing is present but install dates are not confirmed. Parking is on-street only. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. These are manageable issues for buyers wanting character over a fully modernised shell, or for those planning targeted improvements.
Overall this is a rare, private village cottage in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It will particularly appeal to families using nearby schools, downsizers seeking a secluded spot with village amenities, or buyers wanting character with sensible potential to extend.
