The property offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking a character home with substantial outdoor space, including large lawned gardens, mature trees and open areas suitable for a variety of lifestyle uses.
The cottage is approached via a private driveway leading to ample parking, a garage and adjoining workshop, providing useful storage and practical workspace.
Internally, the accommodation retains a wealth of original character features including exposed beams, leaded windows and timber doors throughout, whilst now offering an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to modernise and further enhance the accommodation to their own taste and requirements. The layout includes several reception areas, with the main sitting room centred around a fireplace with gas stove (via gas canisters). To the rear, a modern oak framed orangery provides additional dining and seating space, enjoying stunning panoramic views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.
The kitchen is fitted in a traditional country style with a range cooker, fitted cabinetry and tiled flooring, whilst the remaining accommodation offers flexible living spaces.
Upstairs, the property provides three bedrooms, all enjoying individual character with exposed timbers and attractive outlooks across the gardens and surrounding countryside. The accommodation is complemented by bathroom and shower room facilities arranged across both floors, offering practical family living whilst retaining the cottage’s original charm.
Outside, it is set within approximately 5 acres of established gardens and grounds, which form a major feature of the property. The land surrounds the cottage and creates a private and peaceful setting with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
The formal gardens are mainly laid to lawn and have been carefully maintained, interspersed with mature trees, shaped hedging, flowering shrubs and seasonal planting which provide colour and interest throughout the year. The grounds offer a wonderful sense of space and seclusion, whilst still enjoying open outlooks across the landscape beyond.
A sweeping driveway leads to the property and provides ample parking, together with access to the detached garage and workshop. These outbuildings provide excellent storage and practical workspace, with potential for a variety of uses subject to any necessary consents.
The extensive lawns and open areas lend themselves well to outdoor entertaining, family recreation or those seeking a more lifestyle-led property. The acreage offers flexibility for gardening, hobby farming or potential equestrian use, subject to any necessary permissions.
The grounds enjoy a mixture of open spaces and more sheltered garden areas, creating a balance between practicality and enjoyment of the surrounding rural environment. Mature boundaries and established planting further enhance the privacy of the setting.
