Character cottage with huge landscaped gardens, off-street parking and entertaining outbuildings..
18th-century cottage with original beams and open fireplace
Rose Cottage is an 18th-century, characterful three-bedroom home set within a sought-after village conservation area. The house retains original oak beams, an open fireplace with copper hood and a hand-built kitchen with walk-in pantry, offering immediate period charm and practical family living. The property is chain free and comes with a private driveway for multiple cars and exceptionally large, landscaped gardens with a summer house, purpose-built bar and pergola for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Internally the layout suits family life: a spacious living room and dining room, versatile sunroom, two double bedrooms plus a single and a generous family bathroom. Room sizes are generally small to medium and some ceilings are lower than modern standards, which may suit those seeking cosy character rather than contemporary open-plan space. The cottage is unlisted but sits in a conservation area, so any external alterations may be restricted.
This home offers strong potential for buyers wanting a period cottage with immediate outdoor entertaining space and scope to personalise the interior. Practical positives include off-street parking, excellent mobile and fast broadband, and proximity to good-rated local schools. Notable drawbacks are the high local crime statistics and wider area deprivation; buyers should factor local context into their decision and confirm any maintenance or improvement costs before purchase.
Overall, Rose Cottage will appeal to families or buyers seeking a character property with substantial garden and outbuildings, who value village location and are comfortable with period proportions and potential upkeep. A virtual tour is available for an initial look, and viewings are strictly by appointment.
