Description

This distinctive detached cottage presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment, set within approximately 0.6 acres of picturesque grounds that back onto open fields. With over 2,000 sq ft of living space, the home beautifully fuses early 19th-century architecture with thoughtful extensions that enhance its functionality. The property features four spacious double bedrooms and a versatile study area, making it suitable for families or those seeking a home office setup. The living spaces include a generous open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, warmed by a traditional Stanley range, which creates a welcoming atmosphere for everyday living and entertaining. Additional rooms include a snug, a formal sitting room with original fireplaces, and a charming conservatory ideal for relaxing with a book. Characteristic details throughout the home—such as exposed beams, period fireplaces, and unique nooks—give it a sense of history while inviting personal touches to modernize the interior. The potential for further development is noteworthy; subject to planning permissions, there may be opportunities to create additional dwellings on the grounds. Outdoors, the enchanting garden offers both aesthetic appeal and utility. It features mature trees—including an impressive Judas tree—and well-maintained landscaping alongside productive areas like an orchard filled with fruit trees and berry bushes. A paved seating area encourages outdoor gatherings and relaxation amidst nature. Practical amenities include two substantial timber workshops suitable for storage or potential conversion into creative spaces, as well as additional outbuildings for various uses. The layout also allows for convenient parking options and the possibility of adding an annexe (subject to planning). In summary, this cottage offers not just a charming residence but also significant renovation potential in a tranquil semi-rural setting—an ideal canvas for those looking to invest in their dream home or expand their property portfolio.
