Set on peaceful Church Lane in sought-after Ellastone, Blenheim Cottage is a three-bedroom semi with generous gardens and direct farmland views. The house retains period character—fireplace, built-in storage and solid brick walls—while offering clear scope to modernise throughout. The rear garden, summer house and garage deliver useful storage and private outdoor space ideal for families or gardeners.
Accommodation is arranged over two stories with an extended lounge, compact kitchen, rear utility lean-to, shower room and separate WC on the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and an airing cupboard; several rooms enjoy open outlooks to the surrounding rolling countryside. The property is oil heated with a traditional boiler and benefits from double glazing (install date unknown).
This home is being sold freehold and requires modernisation: cosmetic updating, internal reconfiguration and likely insulation improvements to the solid brick walls will be needed. Private shared drainage and oil heating are functional but will interest buyers mindful of running costs and maintenance. The house is well suited to buyers wanting to add value through refurbishment, or a family seeking a rural base with excellent outdoor space and village amenities within walking distance.
Practical positives include off-street parking, a detached single garage with power, and low local crime in an affluent, rural community. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average — factors to consider for home workers. Overall this is a characterful property with strong potential for enhancement, offered at an accessible guide price for this village location.
