A characterful two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage on Church Street offering generous ground-floor living and a rare long, south‑west facing garden of around 100ft — a real asset for this village location. The large 25ft lounge/diner and separate kitchen give flexible space for a couple or small family, while upstairs houses two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The house retains period charm with a red brick façade and interior character features, yet it will benefit from some practical upkeep. Moss is present on the roof and the exterior requires maintenance; internal walls are solid brick with no confirmed insulation, so buyers should consider thermal upgrades. Heating runs from a bottled LPG boiler with radiators, and double glazing was installed after 2002.
Positioned in an affluent small‑town setting with very low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the property is well placed for village amenities, a nearby station, and good primary schools rated Good. Council tax is affordable and there’s no identified flood risk. Priced at £300,000, this cottage suits first‑time buyers or downsizers seeking character and outdoor space, with scope to add value through insulation, exterior repairs and cosmetic updates.
Important negatives to note: exterior and roof maintenance required, ongoing bottled LPG fuel costs, and solid walls likely needing insulation work to improve thermal efficiency. These are straightforward improvements for buyers wanting a traditional cottage with long‑term potential.
