GROUND FLOOR

Old Pastures property is approached via a welcoming entrance porch, opening into a charming and characterful interior where exposed beams, period detailing and a wealth of natural charm are immediately evident.

The principal sitting room is a delightful dual-aspect space, filled with natural light and centred around a wood-burning stove set within a recessed fireplace with brick-lined hearth. Built-in shelving and exposed timbers further enhance the warmth and character of the room.

A snug provides an additional and highly versatile reception space, ideal as a study, reading room or playroom, again retaining attractive period features and a cosy atmosphere.

The kitchen is of a rustic style, fitted with wooden worktops, built-in cabinetry and an oil-fired range cooker which also serves the hot water system. While perfectly functional, it offers excellent scope for modernisation and redesign to create a bespoke kitchen tailored to individual taste. The kitchen enjoys pleasant views over the garden and leads to a conservatory, providing an ideal space to enjoy the outlook across the grounds throughout the seasons.

A useful utility room lies off the kitchen with direct access to the garden.

From the main hallway, the formal dining room enjoys views over the rear garden and continues the theme of exposed beams and period character. The ground floor is further served by a shower room with W.C., along with a versatile additional room currently utilised as a home office, benefitting from independent access to the driveway, making it ideal for those working from home or requiring ancillary space.
__________

FIRST FLOOR

The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases, one from the snug and another from the dining room, enhancing the property’s sense of character and flexibility.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in storage. The principal bedroom enjoys the advantage of a private en-suite, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

One of the bedrooms features an additional staircase leading back down to the dining room, a unique and charming architectural detail that further reflects the individuality of the property.

Throughout, Old Pastures retains a wealth of original features, with exposed beams and period detailing present in abundance, combined with a flexible layout and considerable potential for further improvement.
__________

OUTSIDE

Old Pastures is set within idyllic countryside surroundings, enjoying a particularly private and established plot of approximately 1.5 acres (stms). The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and beautifully interspersed with mature trees, hedging and well-stocked borders, creating a wonderfully tranquil and picturesque setting that changes beautifully with the seasons.

The grounds provide a superb extension of the living space, ideally suited to outdoor entertaining, family use and quiet enjoyment of the rural environment, while also offering potential for further landscaping or enhancement, subject to the necessary consents.

A gently sloping driveway approaches the property, providing ample off-road parking to the front of the cottage and in front of a range of useful outbuildings, which offer excellent storage and potential for a variety of uses. Timber gates lead through to an additional parking area, providing further flexibility for multiple vehicles.

The oil tank and septic tank are discreetly positioned within the grounds.

In all, the exterior of Old Pastures perfectly complements the character of the cottage, combining practicality, privacy and natural beauty within a highly desirable rural setting.
