An 18th-century Grade II listed stone cottage offering substantial, flexible accommodation across three storeys. The house combines original character — exposed beams, fireplaces and stone elevations — with modern conveniences such as a bespoke kitchen, Neff appliances and Gigaclear fibre broadband. The property sits on a small-to-average plot with a secluded south-facing walled garden and a detached garage with useful office/gym above.
The site includes traditional outbuildings (former stables with hayloft and washroom) that present genuine conversion potential for annex or studio use, subject to listed building and planning consents. There is private off-street parking from a brick-paved drive and direct access from the High Street into the main entrance. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and en suite plus additional home office/study space accessed via a loft ladder.
Important practical points: the Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate conversions or extensions. Parts of the interior need refreshing (living room renovation evident) and the property will require ongoing maintenance consistent with an older stone building. Council Tax Band F is high (£3,366.99 for 2025/26). A viewing is advised to assess condition, listed-consent feasibility and conversion scope for the outbuildings.
Ideal for a family seeking village life with period charm, or buyers wanting a character home with scope to add value through sensitive works and outbuilding conversion, this cottage balances immediate liveability with longer-term potential.
