Period character, large gardens and modern comfort in a peaceful rural setting.
Superbly renovated and extended period cottage
A recently renovated period cottage combining character features with contemporary living. The house offers a generous open-plan kitchen/dining area with wide bi-fold doors, a cosy living room with an inglenook fireplace, and a large master bedroom with en-suite and Juliette balcony — ideal for families seeking rural space without extensive modernisation work.
The property sits in around a fifth of an acre of well-kept gardens bordered by a stream, with a detached garage/workshop and gravel parking. Practical upgrades include an air source heat pump, underfloor heating to the ground floor and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The layout includes a useful boot room, utility and separate shower room on the ground floor for everyday country living.
Important practical considerations: the site is recorded as having a high flooding risk, and drainage is via a private mini treatment plant which will require ongoing servicing. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — factors to weigh for remote working or heavy internet use. The cottage is set in a quiet hamlet with very low crime, but services and shops are a short drive away in nearby villages and towns.
This home suits families or couples who value rural privacy, large gardens and character with modern comforts, and who are prepared to manage the implications of its riverside setting and rural utilities.
