This attractive 17th-century detached cottage combines original character with a modern rear extension and contemporary finishes. Sensitively renovated and laid out as a generous family home, it offers over 2,000 sq ft of accommodation including four double bedrooms, two en suites and a family bathroom. The open-plan kitchen/family room and sitting room with open fireplace create flexible living for everyday life and entertaining.
Set on well over a quarter of an acre, the long, private gardens and double carport with storage above provide excellent outdoor space and practical parking. The property is chain free and freehold, with mains gas central heating and fast broadband and mobile signal — useful for home working and family connectivity.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: ceilings in the older cottage areas are low, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. External walls are cavity construction with no added insulation (assumed), so further insulation works could improve energy efficiency and running costs. Council tax is described as expensive, reflecting the area.
Local amenities and schooling are strong for families: a mix of well-rated state and independent schools are within reach, a regular bus service passes nearby, and the property sits in a very affluent, low-crime area. Overall this home will suit buyers seeking period charm with ready-to-live-in modern space, and those looking to add further energy upgrades over time.
