Description

This enchanting Grade II Listed cottage, nestled alongside open farmland, offers a rare opportunity for a discerning buyer looking to invest in a property with significant potential. Available for the first time in nearly half a century, the home is believed to have origins dating back to the 16th century, showcasing local stone craftsmanship and traditional architectural features that justify its historic listing. The layout includes a welcoming cross passage hallway featuring a studded front door and an elegant staircase leading to the upper level. The dual-aspect sitting room boasts an impressive crossbeam ceiling, window seat, and an open Minster fireplace, while an adjacent reception room offers further charm with its exposed beams and original parquet flooring. The kitchen could benefit from modernization, alongside a formal dining room with an enticing inglenook and additional window seat. The ground floor also accommodates useful storage spaces and a utility area. Ascending two separate staircases leads to four bedrooms, a dressing room, and shared bathroom facilities needing contemporary updates to fully realize their potential. Positioned on a tranquil country lane with minimal traffic flow, this cottage is approached via ornamental wrought iron gates leading down a private driveway lined with mature flowerbeds. Outdoor spaces include a sun terrace perfect for entertaining and expansive lawns surrounded by natural hedgerows. Additionally, there’s a two-storey stone barn currently serving as storage but ripe for conversion into usable space such as an office or studio—pending planning permissions—to enhance the property's appeal as either a family home or investment project.
