Charming 2-Bedroom Cottage in the Heart of Poringland built in circa 1825.

Situated in the very heart of Poringland, this pretty and quirky two-bedroom terraced cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of true character and charm. Believed to date back to around 1825, the property combines period features with excellent potential, and is offered with no onward chain and immediate vacant possession.

To the front, a gravelled driveway provides comfortable off-road parking for two vehicles, part-enclosed by a lush, mature privet hedge that adds both privacy and curb appeal.
Inside, the accommodation begins with a generously sized main living room, complete with a stunning inglenook fireplace, perfect for the installation of a cast iron wood burner (subject to appropriate checks), creating a warm and inviting focal point. Period features include cottage-style latch doors and twist staircase, adding to the property’s unique personality.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room sits to the rear of the home, with a door leading directly to a private courtyard-style garden, ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing in a secluded setting.

Upstairs, the accommodation surprises with an oversized principal bedroom, benefiting from its own private ensuite shower room. Uniquely, the second bedroom also enjoys an ensuite bathroom, a rare and valuable feature for a cottage of this type.

Outside, the rear garden is a low-maintenance courtyard space, non-bisected, and includes a lean-to barn which makes an ideal storage area or could be converted into a home office or studio, subject to the necessary work.

This delightful cottage is perfect for first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors, or downsizers seeking a home with period character and modern potential. While the property is in need of some updating, it offers huge scope to create a truly special home in a fantastic village location.
