Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Berkley Marsh, this late-1700s stone cottage combines genuine period character with a large plot and useful outbuildings. The house offers three good-sized bedrooms, a charming sitting room with exposed beams and a multi-fuel burner, and a conservatory that looks out over open countryside. The site includes a paddock, stables with services, a double garage and an established garden — ideal for smallholding or equestrian use.
The accommodation feels approachable for family life: a fitted kitchen opening to a dining area, a downstairs cloakroom, and a single family bathroom upstairs. The property’s strengths are its generous external space, private driveway, far-reaching rural views and the rarity of having both stables and a double garage in such a tucked-away setting. Mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote working from home despite the rural position.
Buyers should be clear about practical considerations. Broadband is very slow and the main heating is an oil-fired boiler; the stone walls are likely uninsulated and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so energy performance will trail modern standards. Council tax is above average. While the house is well maintained and full of character, there is scope and likely need for targeted upgrading — insulation, heating and digital connectivity would be priority improvements for long-term running costs and comfort.
This property will suit buyers seeking countryside character with land and outbuildings: families wanting space and rural lifestyle, or smallholders looking for paddock and stabling. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic home with room for practical uses, but buyers should factor renovation and modernisation work into their plans and budget.
