Set on a quiet village street in West Stour, Buttercombe Cottage is a traditional three-bedroom stone home that balances character with everyday comfort. Exposed beams, sash windows and a cosy sitting room with an inglenook and log burner create immediate cottage charm. The layout includes a separate dining room and a generous kitchen-diner suitable for family meals and informal entertaining.
Practical features include fast fibre broadband, mains water and electricity, and a neatly manicured rear garden that offers a private outdoor space despite the small plot. The property is freehold and lies in a conservation area close to Gillingham and local countryside, making it well placed for village life and nearby schools and services.
Buyers should note a few material points: the home has an EPC rating of E, room heaters and dual-fuel heating rather than modern central heating, and the stone walls are assumed to lack insulation. Parking is on-street rather than private off-street. These factors mean some buyers may wish to budget for energy improvements or heating upgrades.
Overall, this well-presented cottage will suit families or those seeking a countryside base with period character. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the proportions, rustic features and the potential to enhance energy efficiency and comfort.
