Every so often, a property comes to the market that is a truly rare find and this charming period semi-detached cottage is exactly that.

Boasting a wealth of periodic charm, the cottage has recently been enhanced with a brand new kitchen, blending modern comfort with traditional appeal. The accommodation is well balanced and thoughtfully arranged, comprising:

An entrance porch, ideal for muddy boots after tending to the stables

A cosy living room with a beautiful feature open fireplace

A bright kitchen/breakfast room, newly fitted and perfect for country living

A downstairs cloakroom

A further reception room, currently used as a third bedroom

A tranquil sunroom, enjoying uninterrupted views across the gardens and fields

Upstairs, you’ll find two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom suite, all benefitting from breath-taking views over the surrounding landscape.

This property not only offers a peaceful and private lifestyle, but also holds exciting development potential subject to the relevant planning consents. Planning permission for a substantial two-storey extension which has 3 years remaining. In addition, prevised plans outline a development opportunity, please refer to the photos for further details.

Set in approx. three acres of Commercial land with stabling, this is a rare opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts, those seeking a countryside retreat, or buyers looking for a home with scope to expand.
