One of Marley Hill’s original stone homes, this newly renovated five-bedroom cottage balances historic character with contemporary living. The 26' × 29' open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge, two log-burning stoves and separate lounge create flexible family space for daily life and entertaining. Large plot and private road location provide countryside views, direct access to local paths and generous driveway parking.
The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and a luxury en-suite, with four further bedrooms offering a mix of front-facing views and rear-garden aspects. A fully tiled family bathroom serves the other bedrooms; note there are two bathrooms in total for five bedrooms. A detached double garage/workshop with power and electric roller doors adds practical storage, hobby or small-business potential.
The house has been carefully restored, but it is an historic build (pre-1900) so some traditional fabric remains: sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to be without modern cavity insulation and double-glazing install dates are unknown. Council tax is listed as expensive. Buyers should verify services, consents for past conversions, and any insulation or energy-improvement needs.
Overall this is a substantial family home in an exclusive private-road development, offering immediate move-in condition with scope for further improvement (garden entertaining additions, insulating works, or internal reconfiguration). Its position near countryside corridors, good local schools and transport links will suit growing families seeking space and rural outlooks within commuting distance.
