Character cottage on nearly 0.5 acre with planning for large garden room.
Grade II listed detached cottage, charming period features
Willow Cottage is a rare Grade II listed detached cottage set in almost half an acre of mature, private gardens—an appealing country home for families or buyers seeking rural retreat and scope for improvement. The house extends to about 1,682 sq ft and already benefits from clever extensions: a double-height vaulted sitting room with mezzanine study, a bespoke breakfast kitchen with a Mercury range, three comfortable bedrooms and useful utility space. Outbuildings include a thatched mower store and a workshop/garage, and planning permission is granted for a substantial garden room outbuilding.
The setting is peaceful within an established farming community and a small village with good primary and secondary schools nearby. The property is offered freehold and chain free, so a purchase can proceed without onward delays. Its size, plot and character make it particularly attractive to families who want private outdoor space and the opportunity to customise living areas (the large garden and permission for a garden room add clear scope for growing or entertaining).
Buyers should be aware of practical constraints. The Grade II listing means alterations will require listed-building consent and could complicate or increase costs for some improvements. Broadband speeds are slow in this location, which may affect home-working without alternative connectivity solutions. The home is in a remoter, rural area with modest local amenities and an average level of crime; purchasers should factor these aspects into daily travel and service planning.
