A picturesque semi‑detached flint cottage set on the edge of Silverley, enjoying wide paddock and field views to the front. The house has traditional charm with two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and three bedrooms — a comfortable family home with character features such as a multi‑fuel burner and cast iron fireplace.
The plot is generous for the village: an enclosed rear garden, Indian sandstone patio, mature shrubs and a useful flint outbuilding with power and light. Driveway parking for two to three cars adds practical convenience, and the property is freehold with low council tax and very low local crime.
Important practical points: heating is via an oil boiler and there is an external oil tank. Walls are traditional granite/whinstone with assumed no cavity insulation, so heating costs and improvement work should be considered. Access is via a shared track where maintenance costs are shared with neighbours and the farm, and there is a shared sewage treatment plant recently replaced (2024).
This home will suit buyers seeking village rural living and scope to extend or improve (subject to planning). For a growing family it offers bright reception space and countryside outlooks, but those seeking low‑maintenance modern systems should factor in potential upgrade costs for insulation and heating.
