Bay Tree Cottage is a rarely available three-bedroom detached family home set in a large double-width plot with farmland views to the front, side and rear. The property offers immediate space for family life: a sizable lounge with feature fireplace, an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, conservatory, utility and ground-floor cloakroom. Off-street parking for multiple vehicles and several outbuildings — including a large cabin/home office and a Hartley Botanic greenhouse — add practicality and versatile space.
The house sits on approximately 898 sq ft of accommodation and occupies an expansive, well-planted garden with fruit trees and established borders. No onward chain makes for a straightforward purchase. For families the location scores highly: village settlement, very low crime and fast broadband, with a mix of nearby primary and secondary schools (several with Good Ofsted ratings) and a local bus service.
Practical points to note: the property dates from the 1930s–1940s, has oil-fired central heating (private tank) and double glazing with unknown installation dates. The exterior and some internal elements show signs of weathering and will benefit from updating; this home suits buyers seeking a character cottage with clear scope for modernization and cosmetic improvement. There is no flood risk recorded.
In short, this is a characterful village cottage on a substantial plot that will appeal to families wanting generous outdoor space, outbuildings and countryside views, while accepting the need for some investment to refresh and modernise the accommodation.
