A compact, stone-built Grade II listed cottage that delivers authentic period charm with modern comforts. The house is well presented throughout, with two double bedrooms, a generous dining kitchen and hardwood triple glazing. The living room retains exposed beams and a cosy fireplace, creating a welcoming, characterful home ready to move into.
This property will suit buyers looking to downsize or those wanting a low-maintenance, character-filled home in a semi-rural setting. The southerly-facing front garden is private and paved for easy upkeep; the rear paved yard is shared with neighbouring properties but functionally private for this cottage as it has the only back door. On-street parking and good mobile/broadband connectivity add practical everyday convenience.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing: alterations will be restricted and may require listed-building consent. The cottage’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated, so there may be limitations and costs when upgrading thermal performance. The plot is small and the rear outdoor space is shared, so it's not suitable for those needing a large private garden.
Overall this is a tidy, characterful home in a desirable Hill Top position — strong for downsizers or anyone wanting ready-to-live-in period accommodation close to local walks and village amenities. Consider the listed status and historic construction when planning energy improvements or structural changes.
