Tucked down a long, tree‑lined private drive, The Cottage is a rare stone residence dating from the early 1800s set within almost seven acres of established woodland and gardens. The property offers vast, flexible living space across circa 3,334 sq ft with four reception rooms and four double bedrooms — an appealing canvas for a family seeking privacy and scope to personalise. The extensive grounds and multiple garages deliver exceptional outdoor space and parking.
Inside, generous room proportions and traditional detailing provide a strong foundation, while the sizeable family dining kitchen, utility and ground‑floor shower room support everyday family life. The first floor offers four well‑sized bedrooms and a family bathroom; there is clear potential to reconfigure or add en‑suite facilities subject to consent. The house has been in one family for decades and retains period charm that will reward sympathetic updating.
Buyers should note the property requires renovation and modernisation throughout. The EPC rating of E and the need to upgrade certain areas will be reflected in ongoing energy and refurbishment costs. Broadband speeds are slow in this rural location, and council tax is described as quite expensive — all practical factors to consider alongside the home's size and setting.
For those prioritising seclusion and outdoor living, the grounds are the standout feature: formal lawns, York stone terraces, colourful borders and extensive woodland that borders the private drive. With an integrated triple garage, a detached four‑car garage and ample parking, the site is well suited to owners needing storage for vehicles, hobbies or small‑scale equine/land use (subject to planning). The Cottage will suit buyers wanting a long‑term family home or an investor prepared to carry out sympathetic refurbishment to unlock full value.
