Bumblebee Cottage is a sympathetically restored 200-year-old detached home that balances genuine period character with contemporary comfort. The open-plan living and dining area retains exposed beams and two inglenook fireplaces, while the garden room with aluminium bi-fold doors and underfloor heating creates a bright, year-round link to the landscaped garden and countryside views. Recent upgrades include solar panels, a new LPG boiler, double glazing and full-fibre broadband, and a recent Mundic report confirms structural integrity.
The property sits on a substantial plot and includes an adjacent 1.2-acre orchard held under a separate title; this restored space offers polytunnels, raised beds, a wood-fired hot tub, an oak-framed outdoor kitchen and BBQ shelter — ideal for smallholding, growing, or outdoor entertaining. Practical outbuildings include a highly insulated garden studio/home office housing the solar inverter, a detached single garage, and a larger second garage with an electric door and renewed roof, plus gravel parking for multiple vehicles.
Bumblebee Cottage is offered chain-free and presents scope for extension, subject to necessary planning permission. The combination of modern systems (underfloor heating, solar, fast broadband) and rural lifestyle amenities makes it well suited to buyers seeking a character cottage with versatile outdoor space and workspace. Note some practical considerations: the original slate/granite walls are assumed to lack insulation, heating runs on LPG rather than mains gas, and the large plot and orchard will require ongoing maintenance and management.
