Description
7 Cross End is a Grade II listed cottage set within 2.5 acres, combining period character with the opportunity to create a substantial contemporary home. Planning permission has been granted to convert the adjoining barns, increasing the accommodation to 2,797 sqft, while the existing equestrian facilities and mature orchard enhance its countryside setting.
The approved scheme proposes black feather-edge timber cladding, clay roof tiles, and extensive aluminium-framed glazing designed to capture the surrounding landscape. With stables, paddocks, and direct access to bridleways and open countryside, it offers both heritage and future potential in an idyllic rural location.
