Period cottage with traditional features and modernised living spaces
Brand-new conservatory/orangery flooding the house with natural light
Substantial garden and plot of approximately 0.25 acres
Multiple mains-connected outbuildings used as studios/workshops
Driveway parking for several vehicles and gated walled boundary
Oil-fired boiler and Rayburn provide heating; likely higher running costs
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; improvement work may be needed
EPC rated G — energy efficiency and insulation require upgrading
This charming period cottage sits on a generous circa 0.25 acre plot in peaceful Balterley, offering traditional character with practical modern upgrades. The house has two main bedrooms, a newly installed log burner, and a brand-new conservatory/orangery that brings light and views over the patio and garden.
Practical outbuildings (mains-connected) and a landscaped driveway provide excellent storage and parking for multiple vehicles — useful for workshops, a home business or hobby use. The kitchen includes a Rayburn that provides heating and hot water, and the property benefits from double glazing and recent UPVC doors.
Buyers should note material running and refurbishment issues: the property has oil-fired heating, solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, and a current EPC rating of G. These factors could mean higher heating costs and future improvement work to raise efficiency.
This home will suit downsizers or buyers seeking a rural retreat with scope to personalise — the generous plot, outbuildings and large room sizes offer clear potential, but expect some investment to modernise heating and insulation.
