3 bedroom end of terrace house for sale

This historic three-bedroom home, built in the 1790s as part of a former corn mill, exudes character and timeless charm. Lovingly owned by the same family for over 20 years, it stands as a testament to rich local history, once providing homes for the mill workers. Nestled in a sought-after village location, the home boasts three double bedrooms, and original period features that have been carefully preserved, including two open fireplaces. It is unusual to find such a large sitting room in a cottage of this age - the 24ft space is a beautifully light room with windows either end. The three downstairs reception rooms benefit from oak flooring, original beams, and wooden framed double-glazed windows to the rear, which are in keeping with the age of the cottage. The internal rooms are perfectly offset by individually hand-crafted wooden doors throughout. The property further benefits from a large home office/studio space tucked away at the edge of the garden, which is insulated and double-glazed with power and internet points, providing ample space for home working. The large picturesque garden enjoys the sunshine well into the evening and is stocked with an abundance of fruit trees and bushes. The property also presents huge potential for future expansion.
