Description

This remarkable unlisted country house presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, nestled in a desirable rural setting. Spanning approximately 2.47 acres of mature grounds, the property features extensive outdoor space including a wildflower meadow and versatile outbuildings, offering significant potential for expansion (subject to planning permission). Originally built in the 1930s, The Cottage boasts an appealing blend of period charm and contemporary style, making it well-suited for modern family living. The entrance hall welcomes you with oak flooring and intricate timber details, leading to spacious reception areas that overlook the picturesque countryside. The kitchen/breakfast room serves as a central hub with direct access to a sizable patio terrace that benefits from afternoon sun—ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Furthermore, the property includes a useful utility room and multiple well-proportioned bedrooms with ample storage throughout. With existing structures ripe for conversion into additional living space or annexe potential (as noted by previous drawings), this property not only offers comfortable accommodations but also significant scope for enhancement. Features such as the detached triple cart lodge and various storages add further practicality. Given its charming characteristics and expansive outdoor environment, this residence represents an exceptional project for those looking to create their own idyllic country retreat.
