Description

Nestled in the picturesque village of Antrobus, this charming three-bedroom semi-detached house offers a delightful blend of traditional character and spacious living. Extending across 2,039 sqft, it is set against a backdrop of open countryside views, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking both peace and convenience. Originally built in the late 19th century and thoughtfully extended by a local architect around 40 years ago, the property features a distinctive layout that enhances its appeal. The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance porch and hallway leading to a generous lounge, complemented by a sunroom that invites natural light. A separate dining room and well-proportioned kitchen provide ample space for family gatherings and entertaining. The spacious conservatory offers stunning views of the adjacent fields, creating a serene space to unwind. A standout feature is the ground-floor double bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes, a dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom—perfect for guests or multi-generational living. Additional practical spaces include a utility room, boot room, and separate WC. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms and a separate bathroom complete the accommodation, offering flexibility for families or those working from home. Externally, mature gardens surround the property, complemented by a substantial driveway with parking for up to four vehicles. A large double garage with an electric door presents excellent storage options and potential for conversion, subject to planning permissions. The rear patio enjoys attractive open views, while three brick-built outbuildings provide additional storage for gardening equipment. A private paddock across the lane enhances the rural charm of this home. Despite its tranquil setting, the village centre is just half a mile away, featuring a pub, primary school, café, shop, and community hall. This property truly embodies the best of village living while remaining well-connected to major transport links.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cobblers Gorse Cottage is a charming three-bedroom semi-detached property nestled in the desirable village of Antrobus, offering a spacious layout that combines traditional character with modern comforts. With an asking price of £560,000, this listing is positioned slightly above the local average at £275/sqf, compared to £271/sqf, making it a reasonable choice for those seeking a home in this sought-after area. However, when considering the all-in costs of approximately £590,000, the economics appear tight against local benchmarks, which may give potential buyers pause.

The property boasts well-maintained interiors and a delightful garden, along with flexible living spaces, including a ground-floor suite that enhances its appeal for families or multi-generational living. The modern kitchen and well-appointed bathrooms add to the overall value of the home. While there are opportunities to enhance the existing features and possibly convert the double garage, the renovation scale is light, making this an inviting project for those looking to add their personal touch without overwhelming investment. Overall, this property presents a solid opportunity for buyers willing to engage with its potential.
