Welcome to Main Street, Houghton on the Hill, where this charming 19th-century cottage awaits your visit. As you step through the front door, you'll immediately be captivated by the character and warmth exuding from the living room. The exposed beamed ceiling adds a touch of rustic charm, while the newly installed wood-burning stove invites you to cosy up on chilly evenings.
Just beyond the living room, a door leads you into the heart of the home—the kitchen. Prepare to be impressed, as this space has undergone a remarkable transformation. The modern 'shaker style' kitchen with Oak worktops sets the tone for contemporary living, perfectly blending style and functionality. As your eyes wander, you'll notice the striking 'Stoves' gas-fired range cooker, sure to satisfy any aspiring chef's culinary ambitions. And don't miss the convenient pantry, a practical addition to the kitchen.
As you explore further, you'll appreciate the attention to detail that went into preserving the cottage's history. The kitchen boasts a beamed ceiling, reminiscent of its heritage, while the original brick floor has been lifted, meticulously cleaned, and re-laid in an exquisite herringbone pattern. It's a delightful fusion of the old and the new.
Just off the kitchen, an inner lobby leads you to the bathroom—a haven of modernity. With its sleek white three-piece suite, it offers a serene space to refresh and rejuvenate. And for your convenience, there's even a utility area where you can easily accommodate a washing machine, making laundry a breeze.
Ascending the stairs from the kitchen, you'll find yourself on the first-floor landing. Here, two double bedrooms eagerly await your exploration. The front-facing bedroom offers a delightful view of Main Street, allowing you to watch the world go by. The second bedroom, overlooking the rear garden, provides a peaceful retreat. It features a fitted cupboard and wardrobe, ensuring ample storage space. Additionally, a loft hatch grants access to a fully boarded and plastered loft, offering even more potential for storage or conversion into a creative space.
Stepping outside, you'll discover a picturesque 'cottage-style' garden at the rear of the property. The lush lawn invites outdoor relaxation and play, while the deep and well-stocked flower beds dazzle with an array of vibrant colours. It's a tranquil oasis, ideal for unwinding after a long day.
Continuing through the garden, you'll come across two handy outbuildings, perfect for storing gardening tools, bicycles, or any other items you may have. A gate at the end of the pathway leads you to Scotland Lane, providing convenient access to the wider surroundings.
This terraced 19th-century cottage offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern comfort. With its beautifully refurbished interior, inviting living spaces, and enchanting garden, it presents a rare opportunity to embrace a quintessential English village lifestyle.

It is cool, light and bright in summer with the log burner keeping you warm in winter.”
