About this listing
A Country Cottage, a Grow Your Own Garden and Approximately Eight Acres of Private Woodland
If you've been searching for a rural home where you can grow your own produce, enjoy more outside space and even have your own private woodland, this old miners' cottage in a small rural village offers a combination that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Number 1 Brick Row is a three double bedroom end cottage occupying a generous plot of approximately one third of an acre, with gardens wrapping around the front, side and rear. In addition to the cottage and gardens, the sale includes approximately eight acres of private woodland, situated around a 3 minute drive from the property.
The cottage is perfectly liveable but does require modernisation, giving the next owner an opportunity to update the property to suit their own requirements.

Inside
The main living/dining room is a particularly generous space, measuring approximately 25ft in length, with wooden flooring and an open fire creating a traditional focal point to the room.
The kitchen has a wonderfully individual, practical feel, with generous work surfaces, open shelving, a large central island and plenty of space for preparing and storing home-grown produce. A large pantry cupboard beneath the stairs provides further useful storage, while windows overlooking the garden bring in plenty of natural light.
The current owners have altered the original layout to provide three double bedrooms, with one bedroom situated on the ground floor and two further double bedrooms upstairs. This creates useful flexibility for anyone wanting a bedroom on the same level as the existing bathroom.
Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility area, providing additional practical space and access to the ground-floor bathroom. A stable back door opens directly onto the garden, ideal for everyday country living — particularly when coming in from the growing areas or garden.
Upstairs, work has also begun to create an additional shower room; however, this has not been completed and will require finishing by the new owner.
Buyers should also be aware that the cottage does not currently have a central heating system. Hot water is provided by an electric immersion heater, while the open fire provides heating within the main living area. This has been reflected in the property's positioning as a home requiring modernisation.
A Garden Made for Growing
Outside is where this property really begins to stand apart.
The approximately one-third-acre plot extends around the front, side and rear of the cottage and has been established with growing your own produce firmly in mind.
There are two polytunnels, a greenhouse and productive growing areas, providing an excellent starting point for keen gardeners or anyone wanting to become more self sufficient.
A wood store provides additional outdoor storage, while a static caravan is also situated within the grounds.
There is lots of space for vehicles, with four parking spaces to the front of the cottage, together with rear access and further parking to the rear.
Approximately 8 Acres of Private Woodland
And then there's the woodland.
Included in the sale is approximately eight acres of private woodland, located around a 3 minute drive along the country lane from the cottage.
The woodland has its own gated entrance, with a track providing access up through the land.
Made up of a mixture of beech, ash, oak and sycamore, the woodland rises away from its entrance and includes two level areas associated with former slate quarry workings.
At the bottom of the woodland is a stream, adding another lovely natural feature to this private piece of land.
For anyone who has dreamed of owning their own woodland, having somewhere private to walk the dogs, enjoy the outdoors or simply escape for a few hours, it's an unusual addition to find alongside a property at this price point.
The Opportunity
This isn't being presented as a finished country cottage.
There is modernisation to undertake, the upstairs shower room requires completion and buyers will need to consider their preferred solution for heating the property.
What it does offer is something rather different: three double bedrooms, approximately a third of an acre, an established grow-your-own garden, extensive parking and approximately eight acres of private woodland.
Set within a small rural village and offered at offers over £225,000, Number 1 Brick Row represents an exciting opportunity for a buyer who values land, lifestyle and potential and is ready to make the cottage their own.
