This fully detached 17th-century cottage combines authentic period character with recent refurbishment, creating a comfortable country home for those looking to downsize without compromising on charm. Exposed beams, three open fireplaces and a bespoke country kitchen are arranged across two generous reception rooms and two double bedrooms, all presented in good decorative order.
Set on a large, unoverlooked plot in a sought-after village hamlet, the property benefits from far-reaching field views, two separate gardens and a substantial driveway for four vehicles. An additional rear plot houses a sizeable outbuilding/studio currently used as a recreational space, with direct access to local footpaths ideal for walking and countryside living.
Practical points are straightforward: the house is freehold, newly renovated and sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. It is Grade II listed — this secures the historic fabric and many original features but will restrict alterations and can complicate planning and repair works. There is potential to extend subject to planning permission (STPP).
This property will suit buyers seeking a peaceful village lifestyle with historic character and usable outdoor space, who are comfortable with the responsibilities that come with listed status and modest single-storey cottage proportions (smaller windows, some low ceilings).
