Spacious family home with formal gardens and village convenience.
0.25 acre south-facing secluded formal gardens
Four double bedrooms; family bathroom plus separate WC
Oak-framed orangery and two principal reception rooms
Detached double garage with ample private parking
Chain-free; walking distance to village shops and amenities
Within Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ school catchment area
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; may need thermal upgrade
Slow broadband and quite expensive council tax
Set in the heart of a sought-after village, this detached Victorian cottage sits in secluded, south-facing gardens of about 0.25 acre. The house blends original character — inglenook fireplaces, reclaimed parquet, beamed timbers and panelled doors — with a generous oak-framed orangery and well-proportioned reception rooms for modern family living.
Four double bedrooms plus a separate WC and family bathroom occupy the first floor; the principal bedroom overlooks the formal gardens. Practical advantages include a large double garage, ample private parking, utility and a ground-floor shower room. The property is offered chain-free and lies within walking distance of the High Street and Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ schools.
Notable positives are the private south-facing plot, extensive garden terraces, established planting and a sunken hot-tub area. The oak-framed orangery and walled terrace extend living outdoors and create a versatile, light-filled family space.
Buyers should note a few material points: external walls are original solid brick (likely without modern cavity insulation), broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. As a pre-1900 property, routine updating and maintenance should be expected when compared with newer builds.
