Description
Situated in the sought-after village of Aldeby, this two-bedroom semi-detached cottage occupies grounds of approximately 5 acres (STMS), offering an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle with extensive outdoor space and equestrian potential.
The accommodation is entered via a side entrance porch, leading into a kitchen/breakfast room featuring a window overlooking the rear aspect and French doors opening onto the rear gardens. From the kitchen, an inner hallway provides access to the cosy lounge, which enjoys a front-facing window and a feature wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point.
The hallway also serves a ground-floor shower room and a useful double storage cupboard housing the electric heating system. Beyond, the hall opens into the main entrance hall, a versatile space currently utilised as a study area. This characterful room benefits from a side window, the principal entrance door, a feature Rayburn, and a staircase rising to the first-floor landing.
On the first floor, the landing provides access to two bedrooms and an additional shower room.
Externally, the property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking, with gated access leading to the side of the cottage. A five-bar gate at the front opens to an outbuilding and continues through a stable block, beyond which lies a further gated area suitable for riding and other equestrian pursuits. To the right-hand side of the property is a substantial enclosed paddock extending to approximately 4.44 acres, offering excellent grazing land.
The rear of the cottage enjoys a cottage-style garden which flows into further gardens, stocked with a variety of mature plants, trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting.
Combining character, land, and versatile outdoor facilities in a desirable village location, this unique property presents a rare opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts, smallholders, or those simply seeking a countryside retreat.
