Set within picturesque Cockington Village, this well-presented two-bedroom cottage offers generous private gardens, off-street parking and useful outbuildings. The layout suits families who value outdoor space and easy access to countryside walks, with the house arranged over two floors and scope to reinstate a third bedroom. The property is freehold and benefits from an EV charging point and double glazing.
The ground floor provides a good-sized lounge with log burning stove and conservatory-style dining area, a fitted kitchen, study/utility, and cloakroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, the principal with ensuite and a glazed door to a decked patio. Reinstating a dividing wall in bedroom two would recreate a third bedroom easily.
Outside is a major selling point: very large, secluded gardens backing onto Cockington Country Park with gated access, a summerhouse and a powered workshop that could convert to a home office or hobby room. Parking for at least three cars is accessed via a gated drive.
Please note material considerations: the property is listed and lies within a conservation area—this will restrict alterations and may add consent costs. The site has a medium flood risk (defences present), broadband speeds are slow, and stone walls are assumed to have no insulation. Protected wildlife is present on the grounds.
