Set in an idyllic rural hamlet, West Truckells Cottage is a characterful five-bedroom home with exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and period charm. The accommodation includes generous reception rooms, a conservatory overlooking Wildlife Trust fields and an attached outbuilding currently used as an office with a shower — useful for home working or ancillary space.
The standout feature is the land: approximately six acres of fields, ponds, woodland and an L-shaped stable block with three stables and a garage. There is scope for small-scale equestrian use, horticulture or simple country living; the site also includes a greenhouse, vegetable areas and a static caravan on the adjoining field.
Practical points are clear and factual. The property has UPVC double glazing and an EPC rating C, but the Aga is currently not working and some areas will need ongoing maintenance. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average. The location is rural with a nearby train track and wildlife areas; local crime is above average and council tax is high — these are material factors for buyers to consider.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking space, privacy and countryside lifestyle rather than quick urban commutes. It offers genuine potential for those prepared to manage maintenance, improve connectivity, and make selective modernisations while enjoying substantial grounds and outbuildings.
