Set within about 0.85 acres of secluded grounds, Whitecross Cottage is a traditional three-bedroom detached home that will appeal to families seeking rural character and outdoor space. The house retains period features—exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and a country-style kitchen with wood burner—that give immediate charm and comfortable living areas for everyday family life. The plot includes lawns, deep cottage borders, a working well and a covered veranda overlooking neighbouring paddocks, ideal for children and gardening enthusiasts.
The accommodation is arranged over multiple levels and includes a ground-floor bedroom/study with a mezzanine above, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Practical spaces include a utility room with the oil boiler and a useful detached timber outbuilding. There is scope to create formal parking for several cars from the existing driveway and additional garden areas, though neighbours retain a right of access over the drive to reach two paddocks.
Buyers should note some important practical points: the property’s solid stone walls are assumed uninsulated, heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators, and the glazing is secondary rather than double. Broadband speeds have been reported as slow locally and mobile signal is average; these factors may affect remote working. Overall, the cottage offers strong rural character and a very large plot but will suit buyers prepared to manage heritage maintenance and potential energy-efficiency upgrades.
In short, Whitecross Cottage is a peaceful, characterful family home in a very quiet village setting with generous outdoor space and development potential for parking and garden uses. It is particularly appropriate for those who value countryside living and are comfortable with period-property upkeep.
