Inglenook fireplace, vaulted ceiling and three receptions plus mezzanine

Wrap‑around garden with mature shrubs and fruit trees
Single main bathroom for three bedrooms; limited bathing provision
Oil‑fired boiler, granite walls likely uninsulated — potential retrofit needed

This charming three‑bedroom detached cottage occupies a large plot on the edge of Hundleton, offering countryside views to the rear and the village green to the front. The property’s character features — an inglenook fireplace, vaulted ceiling in the main reception, and three separate reception rooms plus a mezzanine — will appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive rural home rather than a modern new-build.
The wrap‑around garden is mature and generous, with fruit trees, cottage planting and gated off‑road parking for several vehicles. Practical space includes a country‑style kitchen with room for dining and a sizeable utility with a stable door to the driveway. The mezzanine has built‑in storage and scope to be converted into an en‑suite, adding flexible living potential.
Buyers should note material and running-cost considerations: the house is traditionally constructed with granite/whinstone walls assumed to lack insulation, heated by an oil boiler and radiators, and broadband speeds are very slow. There is a single main bathroom for three bedrooms and council tax is above average — factors important for families or anyone moving from urban areas.
Overall this is a rare, character‑rich cottage in a quiet hamlet setting. It suits purchasers seeking a peaceful countryside retreat who are comfortable with period maintenance and potential upgrading (insulation, heating and improved connectivity) to tailor the home to modern standards.
