Property information:
It first came to market in June 2024 at £340,000 and quickly went under offer at that figure before a sale fell through due to a chain issue unrelated to the property.
Following a detailed RICS Level 3 survey, the price has been re-priced to £325,000 to reflect a number of typical period-property maintenance items identified in that report.
Survey summary
The survey confirmed the cottage is structurally sound while noting several age-related maintenance items common to homes of this period, for example small areas of damp, a detached garage that is showing its age & may warrant replacement in time.
None of these are unusual for an 1800s rural cottage; all are remedial and very typical with this age of property, they are not structural, and have been professionally assessed.
Rather than addressing each item in isolation, the sellers have factored the works into the revised asking price, making Bramble Cottage one of the most competitively priced detached homes of its type in the area.
In summary
Bramble Cottage offers the charm and character of a Victorian country cottage with the reassurance of a recent full survey and a realistic, transparent price that reflects its condition.
“A solid period home at a fair, fully-informed price — ready for its next chapter.”

The modern amenities like the MULTI FUEL BURNING STOVES and the INSTANT BOILING WATER TAP really blend convenience with charm.
