Description
This two-bedroom former farm workers’ cottage is part of a crescent of eight homes and is offered with no onward chain. The ground floor has a sitting room, a separate snug, a kitchen and a bathroom, with two bedrooms above. The property is described as needing modernisation and has electric storage heaters.
Outside, a side path and gate lead to a private rear garden with lawn and mature shrubs. A brick-built store provides additional storage. Parking is in the shared area at the front and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The property forms part of a larger title, and a new title for the home is to be created during conveyancing. A monthly service charge applies for grounds maintenance, communal electric heating and administration; the amount and terms should be confirmed with the agent. Fixtures, services and equipment have not been tested, so buyers should make their own checks.

Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £325,000, this cottage is priced at £282 per sq ft, around 26.5% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to add value. The 1920s character, two separate living spaces, private garden and parking give the project a distinctive starting point, with the photographed interiors offering scope to refresh finishes, update the kitchen and bathroom, and improve the garden. The existing renovation range is £25,000–£45,000; using its midpoint, the purchase plus works is £360,000, compared with an implied local-average value of about £441,965. That is a comparison with the current local average, not a renovated valuation, and excludes stamp duty and fees.
The visible brickwork looks intact, though moss or lichen is present on some roof tiles. Before proceeding, clarify the title arrangements and the monthly service charge, and check the first-come, first-served parking arrangements.
Key opportunities
- The below-average asking price per square foot offers a strong acquisition point for a value-adding project.
- Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom, worn timber floors and marked finishes to give the cottage a more cohesive, updated feel.
- Clear and maintain the private rear garden while making the most of the cottage’s character features, including exposed beams and brick fireplaces.
Key risks
- Moss or lichen is visible on some roof tiles; check the roof’s condition and maintenance needs.
- Clarify the new-title arrangements, monthly service charge and first-come, first-served parking before committing.
