This detached Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage sits on a very large, private plot in Elmers Green, offering a rare combination of period character and modernised living. The ground floor includes an open-plan dining area, a cosy lounge with central fireplace and a renovated kitchen with direct garden access. A ground-floor bedroom with private en suite provides flexible living for guests or multi-generational use.
Upstairs are two characterful bedrooms with exposed timbers and a contemporary family bathroom. The property benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband, making it comfortable for everyday living. The mature gardens, patio areas and off-street parking add practical appeal and spacious outdoor living opportunities.
Buyers should note the listed status will constrain alterations and can complicate maintenance or extension work. The sandstone or limestone walls are assumed to lack insulation and the EPC is rated E, so further energy improvements may be needed. The surrounding area shows higher deprivation measures despite convenient transport links and several nearby ‘Good’ rated schools.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful family house with scope to personalise and improve energy performance, while appreciating the privacy and size of the plot. It represents a balance of original features and modern convenience, but anyone intending substantial change should factor in listed-building restrictions and likely retrofit costs.
