Summary - The Firs, Main Road, Carrington PE22 7JA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Rural three-bedroom cottage with huge garden and clear renovation potential.
3 bedrooms upstairs in a traditional cottage layout
22' x 11' dual-aspect living room with original character
Large, mature private gardens and hedged boundaries
Ample private off-street parking via driveway
Requires extensive updating and modernisation throughout
Solid brick walls with no assumed insulation — energy upgrade needed
Oil-fired boiler and radiators; heating fuel is oil (not community)
Very slow broadband and average mobile signal in a remote area
This period semi-detached cottage sits in a peaceful rural hamlet, set back behind hedged boundaries and mature garden planting. The 22' x 11' dual-aspect living room and three upstairs bedrooms create a comfortable family layout, while the large private gardens and private driveway provide strong outdoor appeal and generous parking.
The house retains traditional features — brick elevations, sash-style windows and a chimney stack — but requires a broad programme of modernisation throughout. The kitchen and bathroom are dated, the property is on oil-fired heating and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated; renovating offers clear potential to add value and improve energy efficiency.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, low flood and crime risk, and no onward chain for a quicker sale. Drawbacks for some buyers are very slow broadband, average mobile signal, and local services: schools in the area are mixed in Ofsted ratings and the property lies in a remote, agricultural community.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a buyer seeking a project in a quiet countryside setting — ideal for a growing family wanting outside space, or an investor targeting refurbishment potential. Budget for upgrading heating, insulation, and kitchen/bathroom works to unlock the home’s full value.
