A charming four-bedroom period cottage offering 1,750 sq.ft. of characterful living in a peaceful rural hamlet. The house sits off a private drive with pillared entrance and mature, west-facing gardens — ideal for families who value space, privacy and countryside living while remaining within an easy drive of local state and independent schools.
Interior highlights include a spacious reception hall with herringbone solid woodblock floor and woodburner, a dual-aspect sitting room with woodburning stove, separate dining room, and a generous living room with an attractive timber staircase up to a vaulted-ceiling bedroom. The kitchen and ground-floor shower room are practical, and three further double bedrooms and a refitted family bathroom sit on the first floor.
Practical positives include a single garage, private driveway plus additional parking for two vehicles, useful outbuildings (timber shed, coal bunker, brick store) and no nearby flood risk. The property has scope to modernise and personalise, offering good potential for improvement while retaining period charm.
Important practical points: there is no mains gas—heating is by oil and electric systems—and the EPC is rated E. The house dates from around 1900 and has been well maintained by the same family for decades, but some updating would improve energy efficiency and modern convenience. Council tax sits in Band F, reflecting higher running costs.
