This charming three-bedroom character cottage sits over three floors in the heart of Barnton village, combining original features with a modern kitchen/diner and bathroom. Wide skylights and French doors bring abundant light to the lounge and kitchen, while a fitted robe serves the principal bedroom on the top floor. The property offers comfortable, flexible living across about 1,080 sq ft — well suited to families or buyers seeking a home with personality.
Outside, the house benefits from a large driveway for off-street parking and a private, enclosed side garden with a timber summerhouse fitted as a bar — a useful entertaining asset. The plot is small but functional, and easy to maintain, with nearby green spaces including Marbury Country Park and the Anderton Boat Lift within short driving distance.
There are some practical points to note: the building is a solid-brick cottage likely constructed 1900–1929 and is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so improving thermal performance may be needed. The EPC rating is D and there is a single family bathroom, which could matter for larger households. Viewings are advised to assess layout and any refurbishment priorities in person.
Overall this freehold cottage offers immediate liveability with scope to increase comfort and value through insulation and energy upgrades. Its village location, strong local schools and good road links to the A49 make it a sensible choice for growing families or buyers wanting character with modern convenience.
