Set in the heart of Flaxton, this Victorian five-bedroom cottage sits on an unusually large village plot of about 0.75 acres, including lawns, greenhouse and a paddock. The house is arranged over two storeys with both principal and secondary living areas—useful as a connected annexe for multi-generational living or flexible family accommodation. Detached garage block and driveway provide secure off-street parking.
The property retains period features such as timber sliding sash windows, cast-iron fireplaces, decorative cornicing and generous room proportions. The layout includes two kitchens, multiple reception rooms, a wet room and separate shower/bathrooms, offering scope to modernise while keeping character details. Extensive gardens and rural views to the rear are a standout for village living and lend themselves to outdoor life, small-scale horticulture or hobby paddock uses.
Practical considerations: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, walls are traditional solid brick (likely uninsulated) and the EPC is in band E, so energy upgrade work may be needed to improve running costs and comfort. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — factors to consider for home-working. Council tax is above average (Band E reported). Overall this is an attractive family home with strong potential, but buyers should allow budget for insulation, energy improvements and selective modernisation.
