Large gardens and strong conversion potential in a peaceful village setting.
Detached 18th-century stone cottage with period features
Set in substantial grounds in a small village, this detached 1700s stone cottage blends historic character with practical family living. The principal sitting/dining room features exposed beams and a recessed sandstone fireplace with stove, while the bright kitchen/breakfast room and conservatory/porch give adaptable daily space. Three bedrooms and one bathroom suit family life but may feel limited for larger households.
A considerable detached sandstone barn sits to the side of the house and offers genuine scope for conversion or ancillary use (subject to consents). The long lawn, mature hedging and off-street parking create a private rural setting with views over neighbouring green buildings — appealing for buyers seeking countryside character and external space.
Practical points to note: the property has an EPC rating E and a reported medium flood risk, and the single bathroom will be a constraint for some. The house is offered chain-free and is best suited to purchasers looking for a sympathetic update or those who value period features and substantial outbuildings rather than a fully modernised move-in home.
Local amenities are limited but include bus services and small local facilities; three well-regarded nearby schools make this suitable for families prepared for village life. Broadband speeds are reported fast, while mobile signal is average, reflecting the remoter rural location.
