Set in the heart of Burton, Fern Cottage is a traditional two-bedroom end-of-terrace with clear period character and scope to personalise. Exposed timber beams, a cast-iron fireplace and sash windows create a cosy living room that links to an open-plan dining area and kitchen. A practical porch and utility room add everyday convenience while mains gas central heating serves the home.
The property occupies a decent plot for the village, with an enclosed lawn garden a short walk away via Jones Yard. The wide master bedroom runs the full width of the house and a second double includes fitted storage; a four-piece bathroom serves the first floor. No chain and freehold tenure make this straightforward to purchase.
The cottage requires general modernisation and updating throughout — buyers should expect cosmetic and system upgrades. Walls are traditional stone with assumed no insulation, ceilings are relatively low, and some rooms are small by modern open-plan standards. This is a renovation opportunity for buyers wanting to enhance period features while improving energy performance.
Burton’s amenities — primary school, shop with post office, two pubs and good road links including the M6 at J35 — suit commuters and village-lifestyle buyers. With fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low crime, the house is especially appealing to first-time buyers or couples seeking a characterful home in a prospering countryside location.
