Coombe Cottage is an impressive, beautifully presented period home arranged over generous accommodation (approximately 2,859 sq ft) and designed for relaxed family life. The triple-aspect drawing room with wood-burning stove opens to a rear patio, while a large farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room, separate family sitting room and dedicated study provide a variety of living spaces for children and adults alike. The principal suite and three further double bedrooms (three with en suites) make this a genuinely flexible family layout.
The house sits in large, level south‑west facing gardens with paved terraces, a raised seating area and an outdoor brick fireplace — ideal for family gatherings and outdoor play. An extensive range of outbuildings and garaging (approx. 816 sq ft) plus a two‑box former stable at the garden end offer substantial storage and real potential for a home office or annexe conversion, subject to consents. Views over adjoining Woodland Trust fields add privacy and a strong countryside character.
Practical details to note: the property is chain free and set in a peaceful, very low‑crime hamlet with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The house dates from before 1900 with cob walls and has double glazing installed post‑2002. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators, and council tax is described as expensive. While the house is well maintained, the age and construction type mean ongoing maintenance and careful servicing of the oil system should be expected when planning longer‑term running costs.
