Set on a picturesque lane in Boarshurst, Spring Cottage is a substantial four‑double‑bedroom family home that blends genuine 18th‑century character with comfortable modern services. The house dates to 1760 and keeps exposed stonework, a large bay lounge with log burner and generous reception rooms; natural light pours through large windows, and the master bedroom includes an en‑suite. Families will appreciate the practical layout that includes a pantry and a utility room with garden access.
Externally the property sits above the surrounding valley with an impressive balcony/terrace and wide views over surrounding countryside — a notable feature for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The private rear garden is planted with lawns, shrubs and fruit trees, and there is a broad driveway with a large double garage. The garage has electrics and windows and offers clear potential for conversion or additional storage.
Practical matters are straightforward: the house is freehold, double‑glazed (fitted post‑2002), centrally heated from mains gas and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The immediate area is very affluent with low crime and access to well‑rated local primary schools, parks and outdoor amenities popular with families.
Buyers should note this is a period property with some low‑to‑standard ceiling heights in parts and traditional construction; that character brings charm but also means buyers should expect maintenance typical of older homes. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, Spring Cottage will suit a family seeking a characterful, spacious home with strong outdoor appeal and scope to adapt the garage or certain spaces to personal needs.
