Willow Tree Cottage is a substantial period home set in over half an acre at the end of a quiet country lane, offering exceptional privacy and open-field views. The house’s five bedrooms, six reception rooms and a self-contained wing create flexible living for a large family or multi-generational household; that wing can function as an annexe or independent apartment. Outside, established fruit trees, a duck pond, chicken coop, timber gym and a double garage with workshop deliver a genuine rural lifestyle and practical outbuildings.
The property is strong on potential: nearly 5,000 sq ft of accommodation, gated parking for six cars and scope for a new-build redevelopment (subject to planning permission) make this appealing to buyers seeking long-term value. Modern conveniences include a largely updated kitchen, a new utility room, excellent mobile signal and ultrafast broadband availability. The principal bedroom has a Juliet balcony with southerly views, and several reception rooms open to conservatories and courtyards for versatile indoor–outdoor living.
Buyers should note clear, material considerations. The house is a pre-1900 solid-brick construction with assumed limited wall insulation; the EPC rating is E and the property is in Council Tax Band G, so running and improvement costs may be higher than average. Heating relies on LPG/Calor gas and a variety of boilers (including underfloor heating in places); water is supplied with a private sewerage treatment plant and associated costs apply. The sale is offered with three separate titles, and any redevelopment would be subject to planning permission (STPP).
This home suits families seeking generous living space in a peaceful, rural setting, buyers wanting annexe or multi-generation arrangements, or those prepared to invest in sympathetic upgrading and possible redevelopment. For those who prize privacy, outdoor amenities and strong broadband, Willow Tree Cottage presents a rare, characterful canvas with both immediate comfort and longer-term upside.
