This charming 17th-century semi-detached cottage blends original character with a sympathetic modern extension, creating a flexible family home in the heart of a quiet village. The double-aspect living room with fireplace, several vaulted ceilings and exposed beams retain period character, while the contemporary family room with bi-fold doors opens directly onto landscaped gardens and entertaining space.
Outside is a particular draw: a large, split-level rear garden landscaped for entertaining with timber decking, a plunge pool, ornate covered dining/bar area and a lawn. Front paddock views and a shingled driveway with off-street parking add rural appeal and practicality. Village amenities including the shop, pub and primary school are within walking distance.
Practical points to note: the house is chain free but compact at about 1,055 sq ft for four bedrooms, and its EPC is rated E. Heating is via an oil-fired boiler and radiators — useful in a rural setting but higher running costs and fuel deliveries should be expected. The property has double glazing and external wall insulation, but older fabric and a thatched roof will require ongoing maintenance and periodic specialist care.
Overall this cottage will suit a family seeking immediate village living with character and outdoor entertaining space, or buyers keen on a period home with modern extension. It offers a ready-to-enjoy home with some ongoing maintenance considerations and scope to personalise further.
