Description

CHAIN FREE — Character Cottage with Over an Acre of Mature Gardens, Swimming Pool, Outbuildings and Garage
Set within more than an acre of private, mature gardens, this double-fronted character cottage offers generous, flexible accommodation and a peaceful, secluded setting. The home has been thoughtfully updated over the years while retaining its original charm.
Inside, there’s a spacious lounge with fireplace, a separate sitting room with a log burner, and a light-filled open-plan kitchen/family room with a defined dining area. A utility room adds practicality, and a useful wine cellar provides extra storage. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, along with a modern family bathroom. The property benefits from LPG central heating and double-glazed windows throughout.
Outside, the plot really comes into its own. Immediately around the cottage is a well-stocked patio garden, with an additional garden area accessed via a five-bar gate, offering off-street parking for numerous vehicles, a garage, cart-lodge and potting shed. A second five-bar gate leads to a further garden extending to over an acre, with wide lawns, a swimming pool and outdoor kitchen, a double garage/workshop, and established trees and planting. The setting is private, quiet and ideal for anyone wanting space, hobbies, or even small-scale equestrian use.
