The Horseshoes is a Grade II listed 16th-century detached cottage set within large, secluded gardens in a semi-rural village location. Period features — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplace, leaded casements and wooden floors — give the house strong historic character while generous reception rooms and a triple-aspect kitchen suit family living and entertaining. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe adds flexibility for guests, live‑in help or rental income.
The plot is a major asset: a substantial lawned garden, timber-framed barn, fenced natural pond and far-reaching views over adjacent fields. The gated gravel driveway provides convenient off-street parking and the setting will appeal to buyers seeking privacy, outdoor space and potential equestrian use.
Practical points to note: the property has oil-fired heating, private drainage and very slow broadband speeds. Its Grade II listed status means alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent. Council Tax is in band G and relatively expensive. These factors suit buyers who prioritise character and setting and who are prepared for maintenance and listed‑building considerations.
Overall this is a rare rural family home combining historic charm, significant outdoor space and an independent annexe — best for purchasers looking for countryside living and willing to accept listed‑building responsibilities and basic modernisation where needed.
