This characterful timber‑framed cottage sits quietly in about 2.5 acres of gardens, orchard, pond and meadow — a rare rural package for someone seeking space and country living. A comprehensive recent refurbishment has refreshed living spaces while retaining original features: exposed beams, inglenook fireplace, dual‑fuel stove and a refitted kitchen with quartz worktops. Practical outbuildings include a large garage/workshop, greenhouse, polytunnel and a useful summer house overlooking the pond.
The property is suited to buyers who value self-sufficiency and outdoor life: borehole water, solar panels with battery storage, EV charging and extensive productive garden areas (orchard, raised beds, chicken run). Parking is ample and the big workshop provides substantial storage or hobby space. Broadband is fast and crime levels are very low, adding to the countryside appeal.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the home is an isolated hamlet dwelling in a remoter, very deprived area — access to services and amenities will be limited. Water and drainage are private (borehole and biodigester), and heating/fuel arrangements include LPG (main heating) with an oil-fired boiler and oil tank on site. The walls are cavity as built with no known added insulation, and the large grounds will demand ongoing maintenance. Council tax sits in band E (above average).
A viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the plot, the cottage’s character and the potential on offer — ideal for a buyer seeking a refurbished country home with substantial outdoor space and self-sufficient features.
