Willow Tree Cottage is a substantial Victorian/Tudor‑Revival country house set in over half an acre at the end of a private lane. The house offers five large bedrooms, six reception rooms and flexible living including a renovated wing that can function as an annexe — ideal for multi‑generational families or someone seeking a home with separate living space. Grounds include formal gardens, woodland, a duck pond, fruit trees, chicken coop, gym outbuilding and gated parking for multiple vehicles.
The property combines period character (feature fireplaces, cast‑iron spiral staircases, Rayburn stove) with useful modern additions (new utility room, double glazing fitted pre‑2002). It sits in a very low‑crime, affluent rural area with excellent mobile and fast broadband, making it practical for remote working. There is also development potential (new build/development subject to planning) and plans in place to resurface the single‑track approach road.
Important practical points are stated clearly: the sale is unconditional by timed online auction with a 28‑day completion requirement and associated buyer’s premium and deposit conditions. The house has an EPC rating of E, relies on LPG and oil‑fed heating, and much of the solid brick construction appears to lack cavity insulation, so energy efficiency and running costs will require attention. The property is offered across three separate titles — buyers must check the legal pack and be ready to proceed quickly.
This is a rare opportunity for a buyer who values privacy, scale and countryside character and who is prepared to manage running costs, carry out targeted modernisation, or pursue development subject to planning. The auction timetable and special conditions mean viewing the legal pack and arranging survey and finance in advance are essential.
