Description
This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage overlooks the village green in Horsted Keynes and is offered with no onward chain. Its period features include exposed beams, leaded-light windows and an inglenook fireplace with an old bread oven. The ground floor has a hallway, sitting room and separate dining room, with a door from the dining room to the rear garden.
The kitchen has been refitted in recent years and includes fitted cupboards, work surfaces, a sink and space for appliances. A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs are two bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and access from the main bedroom to a loft room with exposed beams and a dormer window. Roof voids provide additional storage. The property also has a good-sized garden and a garage. The listing describes the cottage as needing general updating, offering scope to refresh it while retaining its historic character. Any proposed work should take account of its listed status.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This Grade II listed cottage has a lot of character, from its beamed sitting room and inglenook fireplace to the leaded-light windows and outlook over the village green. The interior is clean and usable, with a comparatively current kitchen, while dated carpets and finishes offer scope for a light refresh; the established garden is another appealing feature to shape and maintain.
At £500,000, the asking price is slightly above the local average on a £/sqf basis, so value is the main limitation rather than the scale of work. The score reflects a distinctive, manageable project, but not a clear bargain at this price.
Key opportunities
- Retain and make the most of the beamed sitting room, inglenook fireplace and leaded-light windows.
- Refresh dated carpets and finishes to give the clean, usable interior a more cohesive feel.
- Build on the sizeable established garden with routine attention to planting and edges.
Key risks
- Fine cracking or irregular lines on some bedroom walls merit inspection.
- Moss or lichen is visible on roof tiles; the photographs do not establish the roof's condition.
- The asking price is slightly above the local £/sqf average, limiting value at the current figure.
