Set well back from Furnace Lane, this picturesque Edwardian semi-detached cottage sits on just under an acre, with mature gardens, a paddock and outbuildings that suit family life and small-scale equestrian use. The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hall, sitting room with wood-burning stove, kitchen/breakfast room with woodblock worktops and French doors, plus a useful utility and cloakroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms including a principal with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, plus a family shower room.
Outside, the plot is a major asset: double gates lead to a gravel drive, garage with workshop, stable block with loose boxes, tack/feed rooms and a paddock with fruit trees. A terraced garden with pergola and summerhouse provides private outdoor space and pleasant valley views. Fibre broadband and mains electricity/water are connected; the garage, summerhouse and stables have electricity too.
Important practical points: the property is oil-fired with boiler and radiators, private drainage, and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. The house appears well presented but is an older building (pre-1900) and carries council tax band E. There is clear scope to modernise, improve insulation or extend (subject to planning), which will increase comfort and reduce running costs.
This home will suit buyers seeking a rural family property with significant outside space, useful outbuildings and character features. Those prioritising low running costs or modern heating should factor in the oil system and potential insulation/upgrading work.
