Set in a private 1.5-acre plot and adjoining 27 acres of designated ancient woodland (SSSI), Woodlands Cottage blends period character with modern refurbishment. Thoughtfully extended and renovated, the cottage offers a vaulted, light-filled living room, a spacious reception hall with a feature fireplace, and a well-equipped Shaker-style kitchen with island — all arranged for comfortable family living and entertaining.
Outside the garden is a major asset: five distinct landscaped zones, a productive no-dig vegetable plot, pond, summer house, and a suite of outbuildings including workshop, pole barn, and double garage. Private gated access leads into extensive bluebell woodland and miles of country walks. Parking for several cars plus a carport and turning circle suit visitors and rural lifestyles.
Practical details to note: the house retains traditional stone walls (assumed uninsulated), oil-fired central heating, and a private drainage treatment plant. While newly renovated internally, further extension or conversion of the outbuildings is possible only subject to the usual planning permissions. Council tax is above average for the area.
This property will particularly suit buyers seeking seclusion, strong outdoor amenity and character, or those wanting a rural family home with potential to add value through permitted extensions or outbuilding conversions. Its hamlet location offers peace and excellent broadband speeds, but mobile signal is only average and ongoing maintenance of large grounds and oil heating should be factored in.
