Set within about 0.75 acres behind a gated lane, Bitterwell Lake Cottage is a substantial period home with generous living space and private grounds. The ground floor offers a snug, formal dining room, lounge and an impressive kitchen/breakfast room that opens into a garden room, creating a sociable hub overlooking lawns and specimen planting. Four double bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, and a family bathroom occupy the first floor.
Character survives throughout: exposed beams, flagstone floors and inglenook fireplaces (one with a bread oven) provide authentic charm and strong kerb appeal. Practical features include a utility/laundry room, cloakroom, multiple garden sheds and driveway parking for several cars — ideal for family life, hobbies or entertaining in the countryside.
Important practical points: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators and the EPC is currently E. Exterior walls are stone/limestone as built and assumed uninsulated; windows have double glazing installed after 2002. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors may mean further investment is needed to improve energy efficiency and connectivity.
Overall this is a large, versatile rural home that will suit families or buyers seeking a character property with scope to modernise and enhance energy performance. Its size and plot also offer potential for ancillary buildings or extensions, subject to planning consent.
