Set on the edge of the desirable hamlet of East End, this detached three-bedroom period cottage combines expansive rural views with substantial living space. Built before 1900 and sympathetically presented, the house retains original stone character, exposed beams and a cosy fireplace while offering flexible, well-proportioned rooms across two storeys.
The principal bedroom occupies its own private stair and benefits from an expansive en-suite and a small Juliette balcony overlooking open countryside. A large dual-aspect reception room, separate dining room with exposed stonework and a cottage-style kitchen create practical family living zones. Interconnecting bedrooms offer adaptable layouts but could be reconfigured to increase separation if required.
Outside, the large well-maintained garden, mature planting and a substantial two-storey detached double garage (partially converted to an office and storage) provide strong outbuilding and parking provision. Driveway parking for multiple vehicles adds convenience for guests and family life. Broadband speeds are reported fast, and the hamlet sits close to North Leigh’s amenities and local schools.
Notable practical points are straightforward: the property is on oil-fired central heating (not a community supply), the walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone and the EPC is grade E. Council tax is in band G and ongoing maintenance or sympathetic upgrading may be needed for energy efficiency and to preserve the period fabric. These factors should be weighed alongside the house’s size, plot and countryside setting.
