- About 1/4 acre landscaped gardens, fruit trees and decking

An atmospheric 17th‑century stone cottage sympathetically extended to create a large, flexible family home. Original features such as exposed beams, a double‑sided woodburner and mullion windows give strong period character while the substantial breakfast kitchen and three reception rooms provide everyday family practicality.
Set on approximately a quarter of an acre, the landscaped gardens include mature fruit trees, level lawns and a decked entertaining terrace with countryside views — ideal for children and outdoor living. A detached outbuilding comprising garage, office/gym and games room offers useful ancillary space and real potential for an annexe, subject to planning and building regulations.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the 18th century and stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so thermal upgrades may be beneficial. Council tax is above average for the area. The location is semi‑rural on the village edge with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but local area indicators show higher deprivation and above‑average crime levels compared with regional norms.
This property will suit families seeking character, generous indoor and outdoor space, and scope to personalise and improve energy performance. Buyers wanting separate accommodation should investigate conversion permissions for the outbuilding before offers.
