Tucked away off Chequers Lane, this attached Grade II listed cottage dates from the 1800s and sits on a generous, private plot. The house retains period character including exposed beams, fireplaces and a cosy sitting room with a woodburner, while a timber studio at the garden end offers versatile space with shower, WC, sauna and kitchenette.
The accommodation works as a two- or three-bedroom home over two storeys and totals about 952 sq ft. The site includes ample off-street parking, garaging/outbuildings and level lawns that provide scope for garden living, landscaping or potential extension subject to listed‑building consent and planning permission.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II listed and constructed of traditional clay‑lump, which will affect repair and alteration options. Drainage is to a shared septic tank located within the neighbouring garden and main heating is an oil‑fired boiler with radiators. There is no mobile signal on site, though broadband speeds are reported as fast.
For buyers seeking character and outdoor space — whether a family wanting countryside privacy, or someone exploring holiday‑let potential (subject to planning) — this cottage offers a rare combination of historic charm and flexible ancillary accommodation. Prospective purchasers should factor in listing constraints, potential conservation repair costs and septic tank arrangements when considering purchase.
