Set in the peaceful village of Upper Denby, this one-bedroom stone cottage offers a rare combination of rustic character and practical living. The converted barn retains exposed beams and a bright, double-aspect living room with a useful mezzanine ideal for a home office or reading nook. Off-road parking and a gravelled garden with mature planting add everyday convenience in a semi-rural setting.
Internally the layout works well for a single occupant or couple: a large ground-floor double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a walk-in storage area, a generous fully tiled bathroom, and a substantial kitchen with solid wood units and fitted appliances. The property is chain-free and freehold, with mains gas central heating and double glazing already in place.
Buyers should note the cottage needs some updating: the kitchen is traditional and would benefit from modernisation to suit contemporary tastes, and the EPC sits at grade D. The plot is small and garden space is largely gravelled rather than lawned, which suits low-maintenance lifestyles but limits outdoor uses. Mobile signal is average and broadband is fast, while the area is very affluent with low crime and easy access to local schools and countryside walks.
This home will suit someone seeking a characterful, low-upkeep rural retreat or downsizer wanting a manageable property close to good schools and commuter routes. With cosmetic updating the cottage offers clear scope to personalise and add value while enjoying a quiet village location.
