Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached cottage dates from 1912 and is offered as a modernisation project in the village of Dyke. The ground floor has a lounge opening into the dining room, a fitted kitchen, utility area, bathroom and lean-to. Upstairs, the third bedroom is accessed through the second bedroom. The property retains features including fireplaces and has open farmland views to the rear.
Outside, the rear garden is mainly lawn with mature shrubs, gated side access and two small outbuildings. A derelict piggery is also situated at the far end of the garden. The front garden is enclosed by fencing and hedging. Any proposed use or conversion of the outbuildings would need to be checked for condition and feasibility.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This 1912 village cottage has the makings of a characterful, medium-scale project: original features, a lounge opening into the dining area, and open farmland views behind the established garden give it a distinctive starting point. The visible interiors are dated, with worn living-area flooring and marked floorboards, so there is scope to reshape the finishes and bring the kitchen and bathroom up to date. The listing also describes a derelict piggery and two small outbuildings; their condition and any potential use would need checking.
At £195,000, value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The overall score is 48/100 (E), with that data gap and the limited condition score tempering the appeal despite good fundamentals and location.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom and refresh the worn flooring and finishes to create a more cohesive interior.
- Make the most of the lounge and dining area’s open connection, original features and rear farmland outlook.
- Inspect the derelict piggery and two small outbuildings to establish their condition and whether any alternative use is feasible.
Key risks
- Bedroom three is accessed through bedroom two, which may limit privacy and flexibility.
- The piggery and outbuildings are described as derelict or small; their condition and feasibility for any proposed use need investigation.
