Set on a generous plot in the sought-after village of Mountfield, this detached three-bedroom cottage blends period charm with practical outdoor space. The long rear lawn, front garden and private driveway with gated access to a garage provide room for family living and easy storage for vehicles and equipment. Wide views to the front add appeal and privacy in this quiet rural setting.
Internally the layout is traditional and spacious: a long living room, separate reception room suitable for a study or family room, plus a separate kitchen/dining area. There is a ground-floor shower room and useful lean-to/store at the back. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom; the property totals about 1,768 sq ft and feels larger than many village cottages.
There is clear scope to modernise and improve energy performance. The house is solid-brick with assumed no cavity insulation, has secondary glazing and an oil-fired boiler with radiators — practical now but likely to need upgrading or replacement to meet modern efficiency expectations. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home-working, while low local crime and nearby schools make this a good option for families. Buyers should budget for insulation, heating improvements and some updating to fully realise the home’s potential.
