This restored three-double-bedroom cottage sits on the private grounds of the Major Barclay Farm Estate, marrying period character with contemporary living. A large living room with an open fireplace flows into a vaulted kitchen/diner with bifold doors that open onto a generous, well-kept rear garden — ideal for family life and entertaining.
Two double bedrooms on the first floor enjoy open countryside views and a stylish re-fitted bathroom; the second-floor double also benefits from picturesque vistas. The current owners have secured planning permission to create a fourth bedroom on the top floor, offering straightforward scope to increase sleeping accommodation or create a home office.
Practical points to note: the house is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the EPC is rated E. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area. The property is chain-free, freehold, and situated in a quiet village with a well-regarded primary school, pub and coffee shop within walking distance — attractive for growing families seeking a peaceful countryside lifestyle.
