Set in Burham village, this compact two-bedroom end-terrace offers a bright, south-facing position with panoramic countryside views. The extended layout across four floors (approx. 752 sq ft) includes a cellar, fitted wood-burning stove and off-street parking for two-plus vehicles — rare for a property of this size. Double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort, while affordable council tax and low local crime make it practical for a first home.
The plot is small but useable, with a walled front garden and an overgrown rear garden that could be easily landscaped to create a low-maintenance outdoor space. The property retains period character and bespoke joinery, giving it charm and immediate kerb appeal. Its end-terrace siting and rear vehicular access add convenience for parking and storage.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the house is solid brick (original construction circa 1930–1949) and external wall insulation is assumed absent, so upgrading insulation may be advisable. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which could affect home working. The accommodation is compact and will suit someone looking for a starter home or downsizer rather than a growing family.
Overall this is a characterful, affordable freehold cottage in a well-regarded village setting, with clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the south-facing views and practical parking that set it apart.
