Set in a desirable village hamlet, Calm Cottage is a spacious detached family home on a very large plot with useful outbuildings and equestrian facilities. The ground floor lives well for family life: a generous living room with open fire, a garden room/home office, a separate dining room and a large open-plan kitchen/living area with exposed beams and a multi-fuel burner. The layout offers flexible reception space for children, hobbies and entertaining.
Outside are brick stables, a timber stable, two stores (one previously used as an office), a double garage and a covered lean-to — ideal for hobbyists, small-scale equestrian use or substantial storage. The driveway is gated and the rear garden is low-maintenance with raised planters. A separate block of approximately 3.5 acres may be available by negotiation, adding development or grazing potential.
Practical drawbacks are material and must be factored into any purchase decision: the property has an EPC rating of F, oil-fired central heating and solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation. There is only one family bathroom for the four-bedroom house and drainage is by septic tank. These items create short-to-medium-term running and upgrade costs, and the house would benefit from energy improvements and modernization in places.
Overall this is a characterful, roomy family home in a quiet village setting with genuine potential for further development or enhancement. It will suit buyers seeking space, outbuildings and countryside privacy who are prepared to invest in energy upgrades and some modernisation.
