Set on about a third of an acre and backing onto National Trust countryside, Rose Cottage combines period character with generous family living space. Exposed stone walls, rustic beams and an inglenook fireplace create a warm, lived-in atmosphere, while a conservatory with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors brings abundant light and easy garden access.
Practical outbuildings, including a detached garage, summerhouse/home office (with power and heating) and two gated driveways add real versatility for parking, hobbies or home-working. The kitchen and dining areas enjoy countryside views and connect well to the garden, making the house comfortable for everyday family life and entertaining.
Buyers should note some practical shortcomings: glazing was installed before 2002 and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy performance could be improved. Broadband speeds are very slow in this remoter location; mobile signal is excellent but internet-dependent working or streaming may need a satellite or external solution. The property has been extended and modernised in parts, but there remains scope for further updating if desired.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a character cottage with substantial outdoor space and flexible outbuildings, who value rural privacy and countryside access. It offers immediate charm together with clear potential for energy-efficient upgrades and modernisation projects.
