Set well within a large, private plot in the village of Ratcliffe Culey, this five-bedroom detached cottage blends period charm with flexible family space. The heart of the house is a generous sitting room with wood-burning stove and a large open-plan living kitchen—both arranged to enjoy views across the professionally designed gardens. Multiple reception rooms and a separate utility and cloakroom make daily family life straightforward.
Outside is a standout feature: extensive, mature gardens laid out for year‑round interest, an orchard, vegetable plots, greenhouse, storage sheds and a shepherd’s hut used as a summer office. A detached double garage with a room above provides useful storage and scope for ancillary accommodation subject to planning consent. The plot’s size and seclusion will particularly appeal to buyers wanting outdoor space and privacy.
Practical strengths include double glazing, mains gas boiler with radiators, off-street parking and very low local crime. The property sits in an affluent, rural area with good school catchments and reasonable road links to nearby towns; broadband and mobile signal are average in this remoter village location.
Important considerations: the house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has partial cavity wall insulation (assumed), so some owners may want to review insulation and energy improvements. The double garage’s room above has been used as a playroom but would require the usual consents to convert to self-contained annexe accommodation. Council tax is Band G, which is relatively high and should be factored into running costs. The gardens, while exceptional, are established and will need ongoing maintenance.
