Description

THE PROPERTY

Approximate Gross Internal Area: 1201 Sq Ft / 111.6 Sq M

A truly enchanting Grade II listed village home, perfectly positioned just moments from traditional pubs, a general store and a well-regarded primary school. Rich in period detail, the property showcases exposed timbers and a striking inglenook fireplace, while offering versatile living spaces, inviting cosy corners and a sun-soaked south-facing courtyard ideal for relaxed village life.

Builth Cottage is a captivating attached former Wealden Hall House set in the very heart of this sought-after village. Steeped in history and charm, it features beautifully exposed wall and ceiling timbers, warm wood flooring and an impressive full-width inglenook fireplace that forms a wonderful focal point within the home.

The ground floor accommodation flows effortlessly, beginning with a welcoming entrance porch leading to the kitchen/breakfast room, with stone flooring, solid timber surfaces and space for a range cooker. The sitting room offers an inviting sanctuary with its sash window framing village views, oak floors underfoot, and an amazing large inglenook fireplace creating a focal point for gatherings and quiet evenings.

Upstairs, the first-floor accommodation is both versatile and full of character, comprising a cosy snug/bedroom with a wood-burning stove, a double bedroom, and a flexible study or third bedroom. From this room, a staircase rises to the second floor. The first floor is completed by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The second floor continues the home’s charm, offering an additional bedroom – currently used as the principal bedroom – together with a shower room. Each space beautifully reflects the property’s heritage, with exposed timbers and warm oak flooring enhancing the overall sense of character and warmth.

Outside, the home enjoys a low-maintenance front garden framed by natural hedging, and a sheltered south-facing rear courtyard, perfect for alfresco meals or morning coffee in the sun. Opposite the house, a pitched-roof garage provides convenient off-street parking, completing this enchanting village retreat.
