Read the full agent description
This characterful detached three bedroom cottage, believed to date back approximately 400 years, is traditionally constructed of cob and stone and offers a rare opportunity to renovate and re-imagine a home rich in history and charm. Full of original features and with generous proportions throughout, the property provides excellent scope for a buyer to truly put their own stamp on a beautiful period home.
The ground floor accommodation is well arranged and flows naturally. The living room is particularly inviting, measuring over 22 feet in length, and is a wonderfully homely space centred around a striking stone fireplace with a cosy log burner. Wooden stairs rise from the lounge, adding to the cottage character and leading to the first floor.
The spacious kitchen measures over 18 feet in length and also benefits from a log burner, firmly establishing it as the heart of the home. Featuring lovely old beams and ample space for a dining table or future redesign, the kitchen offers both charm and versatility.
A long hallway provides a practical and welcoming entrance, with access to a useful utility space, ideal for everyday storage, coats and boots. The ground floor is further complemented by a full sized bathroom, adding flexibility for family living or guests.
To the first floor, the layout continues to impress. A generous landing provides access to three good sized bedrooms, all with pleasing proportions. Bedroom one is particularly spacious, while the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family use, guest accommodation or home working. A second full sized bathroom serves the first floor, enhancing the practicality of the home.
The property sits within a very large plot and enjoys panoramic views across rolling farmland. Parking is available, and the grounds offer further potential, subject to the necessary consents.
With approximately 1,265 sq ft of accommodation, this is a home of both substance and character. Combining period features, spacious rooms, and a thoughtful layout, the cottage presents a rare opportunity to restore and personalise a truly special country property.
While it requires renovation, it offers the chance to blend historic charm with modern living, creating a home that is uniquely your own.
