Grove Cottage is a substantial, characterful village home set within about one acre of private, mature gardens. The house combines historic features — exposed timbers, gothic arched windows, flint and brick elevations and an octagonal room dating to the 1500s — with generous modern living space including five reception rooms, a large AGA kitchen/breakfast room, utility and plentiful storage. The double garage, workshop and extensive off-road parking suit a family with multiple cars, hobbies or home-based working needs.
The garden is a standout asset: sweeping lawns, specimen trees, a pond, fruit cages, potting shed and a distinctive crinkle-crankle wall create a variety of secluded outdoor rooms. Services include oil-fired heating, underfloor heating on the ground floor, solar-powered hot water and a private borehole and drainage system — features that reduce running costs in places but also require buyer due diligence.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The property has an EPC rating of E and mixed heating systems; private water and drainage mean maintenance and testing will be necessary. Broadband is very slow in the area and mobile signal is average — important for home workers. Council Tax is in a high band. Overall, Grove Cottage will suit buyers seeking a large, character-filled countryside home with mature gardens who are prepared to manage heritage maintenance and private services.
