Charming three-bedroom period cottage with garden, parking and scope to improve energy efficiency.
Three-bedroom Victorian cottage with period features and sash windows
Cream shaker kitchen with Smeg hob, oven and butler sink
Dining room with wood-burning stove and flowing layout to kitchen
Landscaped rear garden: deck, lawn, paved seating and shed
Gravel driveway provides off-street parking for one car
Partly boarded loft offers useful storage and adaptation potential
EPC F; solid brick walls likely uninsulated—energy upgrade recommended
Heating details inconsistent (oil tank on site; records also list electric heaters)
Step into West Central Cottage and you’ll find a comfortable, characterful three-bedroom home arranged over two floors. Original period features — sash windows, fireplaces and exposed brick — sit alongside a modern cream shaker kitchen with Smeg appliances and a useful utility room with side access. The living and dining rooms are distinct and sociable, centred on a wood-burning stove that makes for cosy evenings.
Upstairs offers two double bedrooms with fireplaces and sash windows, plus a third bedroom suitable as a single room or home office. A partly boarded loft provides extra storage and scope for adaptation. The rear garden is attractively landscaped with a decked terrace, lawn and paved seating area, while a gravel drive provides off-street parking.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The property has solid-brick walls (likely uninsulated), an EPC rating of F and mixed information on heating: an oil tank is present in the garden yet records also note electric storage heating. Prospective buyers should confirm the exact heating system and running costs. Broadband speeds are slow and the plot is modest in size, so buyers seeking large outdoor space or high-speed connectivity should note these limits.
Set in a small village with low crime and easy access to nearby towns, this cottage will suit buyers who value period character and a tidy, low-maintenance garden. There’s clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance, making it an appealing pick for families or anyone wanting a comfortable village home with scope to upgrade.
