Description

This distinguished Georgian residence, nestled in the historical hamlet of Piccotts End, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. With roots tracing back to the 18th century, this Grade II listed property sits within a Conservation Area, encapsulating the character of centuries past. Originally a row of simple cottages that transitioned into The Windmill public house until 1967, its historical significance is underscored by a blue plaque at the entrance. The interior showcases an authentic blend of original features and modern comfort, but there is significant potential for further enhancement. The dining room boasts an original brick floor and exposed walls that could be restored to highlight the home’s heritage. The former bar area, now a spacious sitting room with wood-burning and gas stoves, retains its generous proportions, making it ideal for reconfiguration to suit contemporary living. At the rear, a thoughtfully added extension houses a DeVol kitchen with elegant hand-painted cabinetry and quartz surfaces. The adjoining family room bathes in natural light from full-height glazing leading directly to the 160ft garden—an ideal space for outdoor entertaining or potential landscaping projects. The upper floors provide ample accommodation with four bedrooms and two bathrooms; however, opportunities exist to modernise these spaces further or even convert attic space into additional living areas subject to planning permissions. Each bedroom brings its own charm with notable features like exposed beams and bespoke storage solutions. As you explore further outdoors, the mature garden represents an enchanting retreat but could benefit from some refinement to maximise its potential as a landscaped oasis or recreational space. Overall, this property is not only rich in history but also ripe for thoughtful enhancements that respect its legacy while catering to modern needs.
