This detached period cottage, believed to date from the late 1700s, offers authentic character with mullion windows, exposed beams and a flexible ground-floor layout. The property sits on a very large, private plot with a south-facing rear garden, patio and gravel areas — ideal for outdoor living and family use. A detached four-car garage/workshop with an inspection pit provides rare, practical parking and storage.
The layout works well for families: reception rooms on the ground floor plus an additional ground-floor bedroom or snug, and three first-floor bedrooms including a principal suite with dressing area and en-suite. Practical features include a kitchen with granite worktops, modern family bathroom, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working.
A clear value driver is the full planning permission granted for a new-build ancillary dwelling to the rear, opening options for rental income, multigenerational living or resale uplift. The house offers good access to local shops, schools (several rated Good) and the M6 for commuting.
As a late-1700s building, the property will require ongoing maintenance typical of period homes; some systems or finishes may need updating over time. The home sits in a hamlet/isolated settlement, which brings tranquillity but may mean fewer immediate local services and reliance on a car. Crime levels are average for the area.
