Set in a peaceful village hamlet with open countryside views, Stratton Cottage is a characterful five-bedroom detached home offering versatile family living across approximately 1,775 sq ft. The house combines traditional features — exposed timbers, oak flooring and a striking brick fireplace — with a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room fitted with granite worktops and a ceramic Butler sink. Dual-aspect reception rooms and a family room opening onto a covered veranda make the ground floor naturally sociable and well suited to family life.
The principal suite benefits from a luxury en suite and built-in wardrobe; four further bedrooms give flexibility for children, guests or a home office. Outside, mature landscaped gardens step down from a gravelled terrace to wide lawns with uninterrupted rural outlooks. A generous block-paved driveway with gated access provides ample parking and leads to a detached timber garage/workshop with loft storage, power and lighting — useful for hobbies or secure vehicle storage.
Buyers should note the house’s construction era and fabric: the property dates from c.1930–1949 with timber-frame walls that are assumed to have no insulation. While presented in good order, there is scope for targeted modernisation or energy-efficiency upgrades. Council tax is described as expensive for the area. Overall this is a comfortable, characterful family home in a very affluent, low-crime rural neighbourhood, offering both immediate livability and potential to add value with sympathetic improvements.
