Early 1700s detached cottage with original beams and fireplaces
A rare, characterful detached cottage dating to the early 1700s, The Cottage blends original beams and fireplaces with light, contemporary living. The heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge with bi-fold doors onto the garden, complemented by a beamed sitting room and a snug/study—both with log burners. The ground floor double bedroom and modern family bathroom make single-floor living easy, while two further double bedrooms, a dressing area and a contemporary shower room sit upstairs.
Outside, almost half an acre of wrap-around gardens provides privacy and variety: orchard, vegetable plots, wildlife pond, extensive lawn and paved patio. A detached barn offers garage, workshop and storage with EV charging on-site. Full planning permission exists for a substantial oak-framed single-storey extension (foundations already in place), giving clear scope to enlarge living space without delay.
Practical points to note: the property sits in a remote, peaceful village setting with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, but it carries a high flood risk and council tax is above average. Heating and hot water are supplied by an air source heat pump, while an existing oil boiler and oil fuel remain connected. This is a character-packed home for buyers seeking a spacious rural property with development potential, not a low-maintenance town dwelling.
