Summary - 1 Groomstool Cottages, Lea HR9 7LY
Three bedrooms with countryside views
Tucked on the edge of Lea, this three-bedroom stone cottage pairs original character with a generous plot and clear scope for improvement. The reception room, sizeable kitchen and separate utility give practical family living space, while sash-style windows and a feature fireplace preserve authentic rural charm. Bedrooms enjoy pleasant countryside views, and the garden and long gravel drive provide privacy and abundant parking.
The house is heated by oil-fired central heating with electric storage heaters also present; services include mains water and shared septic tank. The solid sandstone/limestone walls appear uninsulated and the EPC is rated E(48), so energy performance and heating costs are likely to need attention. Broadband is very slow here, and the property will suit buyers comfortable with rural connectivity limits.
This home is well placed for village life — shop, pub and a good primary school are within easy reach — and provides straightforward potential to modernise, insulate and upgrade services subject to the usual consents. It will appeal to families or buyers seeking a characterful village home with a large garden, or investors wanting to add value through sympathetic refurbishment.
Buyers should note practicalities: the oil tank, external boiler and shared septic arrangement require routine maintenance and verification; historic construction means any improvements should consider conservation of character and wall insulation solutions. Viewing will best suit those looking for a comfortable rural cottage with bright scope for improvement rather than a turnkey modern property.
