Built in 1835 and cherished by the same family over decades, the cottage retains much of its charming historical character while providing a functional living space. At the heart of this home is the inviting sitting room, featuring an original Inglenook fireplace with a Clearview wood-burning stove—a perfect spot for cozy gatherings. The historical essence of the property is further accentuated by its original bread oven.
While compact, the kitchen is designed with practicality in mind and captures lovely countryside views through its window. It includes adequate space for essential appliances and dining options. A handy walk-in pantry complements the kitchen with additional storage solutions. Additionally, there’s a utility area that accommodates modern conveniences like washing machines and dishwashers along with access to a ground-floor WC.
Upstairs features a spacious landing which can serve as an office or could easily be reconfigured into additional living space such as an ensuite bedroom or shower room. The primary bedroom boasts ample storage options and enjoys pleasant views.
The outdoor areas are abundant with potential—ideal for avid gardeners or those aspiring towards self-sufficiency—with numerous sheds, composting zones, vegetable patches, and charming elements like an original stone pigsty adding character to the landscape.
Crucially, there's considerable scope to extend or redevelop portions of this property to maximize its size and stunning countryside vistas—plans are even available for inspection regarding a planned detached garage already on concrete footing.
This delightful cottage serves well as a permanent home, weekend getaway, or rental investment opportunity in a coveted location renowned for its natural beauty.
