Pheasants Cottage is a striking 1690s detached country home set on a large corner plot, backing onto open farmland. Period features and double-aspect rooms give character and light, while a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and landscaped gardens create a comfortable rural family home. A well-insulated summerhouse/home office and generous off-street parking increase practicality for modern living.
An impressive two-storey, self-contained one-bedroom annex provides versatile use — ideal for multi-generational living, a holiday let or long-term rental income. Planning permission has already been granted to enlarge the kitchen and add a vaulted breakfast room (WD/2013/0590/F), offering clear scope to improve and extend living space subject to implementation.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: heating is by electric room heaters (no central gas), the older sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated, and the current EPC rating is F. These factors create scope for energy-efficiency upgrades and further investment to reduce running costs. Overall, this peaceful village location, close to local amenities and commuter rail links, will suit families, buyers seeking rural lifestyle potential, or investors attracted by the annex and planning consent.
