A Grade II listed period cottage tucked behind The Green, offering immediate kerb appeal and genuine historic character. The layout includes a generous 19ft sitting room, kitchen/dining room, and versatile two/three bedroom accommodation across two floors — ideal for a small family or downsizer who values charm over scale.
The property has attractive front and rear gardens (small plot) and a barn-style carport. Interior features include exposed beams, leaded windows and a well-preserved façade; ceilings are generally low and room sizes are modest, so the house feels cosy rather than spacious. The second bedroom is accessed via its own staircase, creating an unusual but flexible arrangement for guest or home office use.
Practical considerations: the cottage is listed, so repairs and alterations will need listed-building consent and specialist contractors. Heating is currently by electric storage heaters (some descriptions reference gas central heating historically — buyers should verify). Walls are likely solid brick with no modern cavity insulation and the floorplate is modest (approx. 805 sq ft), so upgrade works (insulation, heating, wiring) may be needed and will require sensitivity to the listed status.
Set in a quiet, convenient village location close to shops, pubs, St James’ Primary and countryside, this chain-free home suits someone seeking a characterful, low-maintenance village base with potential to improve energy performance and modern comfort subject to heritage constraints.
