Tucked on the edge of Lea, this three-bedroom stone cottage combines traditional character with a generous plot and far-reaching rural views. The reception room with a feature fireplace, a large kitchen, and a practical utility room provide comfortable everyday spaces for family life. The plot includes ample parking, a sizeable lawned garden and useful outbuilding storage.
The property retains original stone walls and period proportions but will benefit from modernisation and energy improvements. Heating is via oil-fired central heating with electric storage heaters reported, and the EPC is rated E. The walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone, and windows are double glazed with unknown installation dates — buyers should budget for insulation and efficiency upgrades.
Services are mains water and electricity with a shared septic tank; broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal. These factors suit someone seeking a peaceful village home with potential to improve rather than a move-in‑perfect purchase. Planning or building works would be subject to consents.

Viewings will suit those looking for rural privacy, scope to add value through sympathetic refurbishment, and a substantial garden for outdoor living.
