Nestled on Red Cat Lane, this renovated stone cottage blends historic charm with contemporary comfort. Originally a smithy dating to the mid-1700s, the house has been sympathetically updated to provide 1,380 sq ft of living space across two floors, including a large 23ft lounge/diner with a log burner and a high-spec open-plan kitchen. The principal bedroom includes a generous en‑suite, and two further double bedrooms make the layout well suited to family life or flexible living.
Outside the property sits in a prized rural position with open countryside views and a westerly rear aspect that delivers late-afternoon sun and memorable sunsets. Off-street parking is provided by a generous driveway and the low-maintenance front garden keeps upkeep simple. Local lanes and trails are immediate, yet the house remains within reasonable reach of nearby towns, schools and motorway links.
Buyers should note important practical points: the hamlet location means an isolated, rural lifestyle rather than urban convenience, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may affect home-working. The plot is described as small, so garden space is modest relative to the scenic outlook. Council tax is moderate. Overall this is a characterful, newly renovated detached cottage that will appeal to families or buyers seeking peaceful countryside living with strong period features and modern finishes.
