Meadow Cottage is a characterful detached home set in about one acre, offering flexible 4–5 bedroom accommodation across two floors. The property combines traditional cottage features—wood burner, leaded windows and timber details—with practical upgrades such as triple glazing and solar panels that supply hot water. Outside there’s a substantial detached triple garage/barn (vaulted, currently used as gym/bar), a summer house tucked in woodland and a driveway with off-street parking.
The current layout includes a ground-floor reception, dining room, kitchen, utility/sunroom, and a ground-floor bedroom/shower room, plus an upstairs loft conversion delivering three further bedrooms including an ensuite. The site also includes licensed boarding kennels, which offer a potential income stream but will carry ongoing licensing and management responsibilities. The large plot and outbuildings create clear scope for hobby, home business or further conversion subject to planning.
Buyers should note several practical points: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property dates from the 1980s with a timber-frame construction (assumed). Broadband and mobile signals are average for the rural setting. The house will suit purchasers seeking a rural family home with scope for modernisation, or someone looking to combine residential living with an ancillary income use. Chain-free sale makes for a straightforward purchase process.
This is a secluded, versatile property for anyone who values privacy, outdoor space and ancillary capacity. It will particularly appeal to families wanting room and character, or purchasers prepared to invest in modernisation to realise additional value from the land and outbuildings.
