Set behind electric gates with a sweeping private drive, Harrys Cottage occupies a generous, secluded plot with outstanding rural views. The detached five-bedroom house retains traditional features such as exposed beams and a bay-windowed sitting room, and its layout has been adapted to support multi-generational living with ground-floor bedrooms and a self-contained annex opportunity.
The grounds are a major asset: neatly landscaped cottage borders, kitchen garden, wooded areas, summer house, ample gravel parking and a double garage plus additional single garage/workshop. The site offers scope for further landscaping, equestrian or smallholding uses subject to planning and personal preference.
Practical details to note: the property is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, uses private drainage, and has double glazing installed post-2002. The solid-brick walls were built before 1900 and are likely uninsulated, so there is clear scope — and likely cost — for thermal improvements. Broadband speeds are very slow; however mobile signal is excellent.
This is a rare offering for buyers seeking rural privacy within easy reach of good local schools and affluent nearby communities. It will particularly suit families or buyers wanting a character home with scope to modernise and personalise, while appreciating the privacy and views the plot provides. EPC: E. Council Tax: quite expensive.
