A handsome stone cottage set on a large plot with sweeping countryside views, this semi-detached home offers flexible family living across 1,450 sq ft. The ground floor provides a cosy sitting room, open-plan kitchen and living area, a bright dining room with Velux rooflights and a boot/utility with WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms (two with fitted wardrobes), a family bathroom and a fourth bedroom currently used as a playroom.
Outdoor space is a clear strength: a long driveway behind five-bar gates, parking for six-plus cars, a double garage and well-maintained lawned gardens with a stone patio, vegetable plot, greenhouse and log store. The setting is peaceful and rural, about 1.5 miles from the village centre, ideal for families seeking countryside privacy while remaining within reach of local schools and amenities.
Practical points to note: the cottage is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators and the stone walls are assumed to be without cavity insulation. The property dates from before 1900 and retains period features, which buyers should expect to maintain. Council tax is above average. These factors may mean higher running and maintenance costs and scope for sympathetic upgrading to improve energy performance.
Overall this is a characterful family home with generous outdoor space and strong development potential for someone looking to modernise heating and insulation while enjoying a tranquil hamlet location and excellent parking and garaging.
