Dating from around 1750 with later additions, this detached period cottage sits in about 1.2 acres, including a fully fenced paddock just under an acre. The house combines traditional features—exposed stone and timber, inglenook fireplaces and a gabled white facade—with spacious modern living: four reception rooms, a study, and a double garage. The private, well-kept gardens and direct gated access to open farmland make this a rare semi-rural family retreat.
Interior accommodation is generous and versatile: four double bedrooms (two with en-suites), a family bathroom, a traditional kitchen with an AGA, utility room and plentiful reception space ideal for family life or hosting guests. Practical benefits include off-street parking for several vehicles and mains services; broadband speeds are reported as fast for home working. The setting is peaceful in a very low-crime village and offers outstanding privacy and countryside views.
Notable practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and the external walls are cavity as built with no assumed insulation, so energy costs and potential improvement works should be factored in. Council tax is described as quite expensive. While well maintained, the age of the building means there may be ongoing upkeep typical of pre-1900 homes; double glazing is present but install dates are unknown.
For families seeking space, privacy and outdoor lifestyle — equestrian or smallholding possibilities included — this is a compelling opportunity. The hamlet location provides tranquillity while remaining within accessible driving distance of local schools and nearby towns for shops and services.
