Charming two-bed cottage on a sunny 0.53-acre plot with workshop and scope to extend (stp)..
South-facing 0.53 acre plot with open countryside views
Set on a substantial 0.53-acre south-facing plot, Rose Cottage is a detached two-bedroom period home offering tranquil semi-rural living and far-reaching open views. The cottage combines traditional character—exposed beams, a large fireplace and pitched clay-tiled roof—with modern eco-features including PV solar panels, battery storage, an air-source heat pump and thermal solar panels.
Internally the layout is practical: two reception rooms, a pitched-ceiling kitchen, ground-floor wet room and first-floor bathroom. The principal bedroom is generous with fitted wardrobes; overall accommodation extends to about 982 sqft. A large timber workshop/garage (circa 300 sqft) and a private parking bay for two to three cars add useful outbuildings and storage.
The plot is a key asset: mature lawns, terraces, greenhouses, a brook on the southern boundary and long, sunny southerly aspect. There is scope to enlarge the house subject to planning (stp), though future extension may be constrained by the building’s position near the western boundary and the site topography. The property is offered freehold and chain-free.
Notable practical points: broadband is relatively slow (up to c.40 Mbps) and the area records above-average crime levels, which may concern some buyers. The cottage was previously listed as Grade II but now de-listed; the building is older (17th/18th century) and will show age-related maintenance requirements. Prospective buyers should factor in potential refurbishment and limited rear extension options when assessing long-term plans.
