Description

Tucked away in a truly idyllic setting, this enchanting 16th century detached cottage enjoys a wonderfully peaceful position surrounded by rolling countryside, with far-reaching views across open fields and a real sense of rural tranquillity. The location offers the perfect balance of seclusion and community, with neighbouring cottages close by and the added charm of a one acre meadow opposite, often enjoyed for local traditions and village events. The south-facing aspect ensures the garden and living spaces are bathed in natural light throughout the day, with sunsets best enjoyed from the patio.

The living room is a warm and inviting space, centred around a characterful log burner and filled with period charm. A second living area provides an equally cosy retreat, also featuring a log burner and offering flexibility for family living or entertaining. The extended kitchen is a standout feature, beautifully designed to combine modern convenience with the character of the original home, offering ample space for cooking and gathering and a separate dining room provides an elegant setting for both formal entertaining and everyday meals. There is also a useful downstairs W.C, laundry room with adjoining boiler and storage room which adds practicality continuing the home’s sense of charm and comfort.

Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms each enjoying a pleasant outlook with a further single room continuing the theme of charm and character found throughout. The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, easily suited to a range of buyers from families to those seeking a peaceful retreat. The family bathroom, separate shower room and W.C are all well-appointed and in keeping with the style of the home. High-speed fibre broadband is also available at the property.

Externally, the property is surrounded by attractive and well-established gardens. The rear garden features a lawn, patio seating area, log store and shed, all framed by mature planting and anchored by a striking monkey puzzle tree. The front garden is neatly paved with planted borders, creating a welcoming area for barbeques and is an ideal place to catch the evening sun. The additional field of approximately one acre opposite the property is included within the sale, offering a rare and special extension to the grounds. Corner cottage also has its own private borehole located within the grounds of the cottage. The property benefits from off-road parking for multiple vehicles and is offered for sale with no onward chain. A rare opportunity to acquire a truly characterful home in a beautiful and unspoilt setting. EPC Rating E. Council Tax Band Currently F.
