Tucked into a peaceful village setting, this traditional two-bedroom stone cottage blends period character with practical outbuildings. A recent new roof and double glazing (post-2002) give reassurance, while the detached double garage is a rare and valuable addition for storage, workshop use or ancillary accommodation potential. Off-road parking to the front and a nearby play park add everyday convenience for a small family.
Internally the cottage is compact and characterful: a cosy reception room with exposed beams and a wood burner creates a warm focal point, and two good light-filled bedrooms sit upstairs. The property has worked successfully as a holiday let, and its chain-free status makes it attractive to first-time buyers, investors or those seeking a countryside retreat.
Buyers should note a few practical issues. The vendor is unaware of the working condition of the heat pump, which has not been used for some time. Heating currently includes an oil boiler and radiators plus a wood burner; the stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built granite/whinstone), so energy performance may be modest despite the D rating. The neighbour retains a right of access over the private side driveway.
Overall this cottage offers period charm, useful garage space and clear potential for improvement or continued holiday-let income, but it will suit buyers comfortable with managing heating, insulation and modest modernisation work. Council tax is charged as business rates.
