Set within a tranquil farm hamlet, The Cottage is a Grade II listed stone barn conversion offering generous family living across about 2,352 sq ft. Characterful features — exposed beams, a feature stone fireplace with multifuel burner and large windows — combine with practical spaces including a ground-floor bedroom and shower room for multi-generational use.
The layout is versatile: a bright sitting room and separate reception/office both open to south-facing, well-stocked mature gardens arranged on two levels, with patios, a pond and fruit trees. The kitchen is fitted with Bosch and Neff appliances and adjoins a utility room and a spacious dining hall that forms the everyday heart of the house.
Upstairs are three large bedrooms, the principal with built-in storage and ensuite, plus a family bathroom with a Jacuzzi-style bath. Externally there is driveway parking and a double garage, and the plot enjoys open farmland views — attractive for families seeking space and countryside living.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which can restrict alteration and may complicate certain works. Heating is by LPG and drainage is to a septic tank. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow — relevant for remote working — and council tax is described as expensive. These factors should be checked early in the buying process.
