Set on a large plot beside Newmillerdam Country Park, Cobble Cottage is an individually designed, four‑bedroom detached home that blends period character with contemporary fittings. The house offers substantial living space across two floors, including two principal bedrooms with en suites and a walk‑in dressing room, generous open-plan kitchen/living areas, and an integral double garage. The tiered, landscaped gardens and elevated decks capture attractive views over the nature reserve, creating strong indoor‑outdoor appeal for family life and entertaining.
Practical strengths include off‑street parking in a Yorkshire stone cobbled courtyard, an electric garage door, double glazing installed since 2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a prior planning approval to convert the garage and add a detached garage/store (Ref: 14/00696/FUL), offering clear scope to increase living space or reconfigure accommodation.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The property is a pre‑1900 stone build and walls are assumed to be solid granite/whinstone with no built‑in insulation, so secondary or retro‑fit insulation may be needed to improve thermal performance beyond the current EPC D67. Council Tax is band G and running costs should be factored in for a house of this size. The house has been thoughtfully modernised in many areas but retains exposed beams and some traditional finishes that might require ongoing upkeep.
This home will suit families seeking a substantial, characterful house in an affluent, semi‑rural suburb with excellent access to the nature reserve, good local schools and commuter links. It rewards viewing to fully appreciate space, garden aspect and the flexibility offered by the previous garage planning consent.
