Large character cottage with 1.2-acre grounds, garages and conversion potential.
Approximately 1.2 acre private gardens and woodland-bordered grounds
Laity Cottage is a substantial detached country home set in about 1.2 acres of private grounds, approached by a quiet country lane and enjoying long open views over fields and woodland. The house combines traditional character — exposed stonework, beam ceilings and an inglenook with wood burner — with generous living space including a 23' lounge, 25' kitchen/breakfast room and a conservatory overlooking the garden.
The first-floor master bedroom is dual-aspect with extensive views and a large four-piece en suite. Three further double bedrooms, a spacious family bathroom and plentiful fitted storage make this a practical family home. Two garages, a separate store room and utility offer useful outbuildings and scope to convert additional accommodation subject to planning permission.
Practical considerations: the property is an older, solid-wall construction (pre-1900) with double glazing fitted before 2002 and an oil-fired boiler serving radiators. The EPC rating is E, so energy efficiency improvements and insulation upgrades would be needed to reduce running costs. Buyers should plan for updating rather than move-in-perfect finish.
This rural cottage will suit families seeking privacy, outdoor space and character, or buyers wanting to add value through sympathetic refurbishment or limited conversion of the outbuilding/store. Planning would be required for any change of use of the store/utility to living or home-working accommodation.
