Whittingstall Cottage is a Grade II listed detached character home set in a tranquil village location, offering period charm with thoughtful modern comforts. Exposed beams, bespoke hand‑painted kitchen, a wood burner and oil-fired central heating give immediate warmth and character, while the attractive flagged patio and large south-facing gardens create a private outdoor retreat.
The ground floor layout includes a practical entrance/boot room, a stylish travertine-tiled shower room and a dual-aspect lounge that overlooks the garden. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a roll-top bath; there is useful fitted storage on the landing. Outside, a detached (unlisted) garage, gravel driveway for up to four cars and a greenhouse add useful outbuildings and storage.
Important practical points: the property’s Grade II listed status will affect alterations and may complicate extension plans; any changes require listed building consents. EPC is exempt for listed buildings. Broadband availability is mixed — the listing notes a 76Mb EE connection, yet local broadband speeds are reported very slow in some data sources. Buyers should check services and planning constraints before committing.
This cottage suits buyers seeking countryside character close to amenities and good commuter links: Marden station is under three miles with direct trains to London. The plot and layout give scope to improve or extend, subject to consents, making this attractive for families wanting long-term growth or buyers prepared to manage listed-property maintenance.
