Picturesque period cottage set within generous gardens in a peaceful village location
A quintessential, picture-postcard thatched cottage, steeped in history and dating back to the 1500s, beautifully positioned within a charming hamlet setting.
The property occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.68 acres (STS) with a south-facing garden, offering an idyllic retreat for those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle or smallholding opportunities. An oversized thatched garage, along with a separate garage/workshop, further enhances the appeal.
The approach is via double wrought iron gates opening to a sweeping gravel driveway, providing ample parking and leading to the thatched garage. Inside, the entrance hall welcomes you with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful under-stairs storage area. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units complemented by a ceramic sink and drainer, electric double oven, five-ring hob, and integral dishwasher, flowing into a utility area with space for appliances and housing the oil-fired boiler.
The dining room enjoys excellent natural light from two side windows, including a bay, and French doors opening to the rear garden, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The cloakroom/utility includes a butler sink and plumbing for additional appliances. The lounge is a delightful triple-aspect space featuring exposed beams and a multi-fuel burner set within a brick surround, while a versatile fourth bedroom or study completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the split-level landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each featuring character details such as exposed beams and fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspects and garden views, while the family bathroom includes a bath, separate shower, and airing cupboard.
Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped, with a formal front lawn framed by mature shrubs and planting, extending to an orchard containing a variety of fruit trees and a chicken run. A purpose-built garage/workshop with power and light offers excellent scope for hobbies or storage. The plot backs onto open farmland, providing a tranquil backdrop and a true sense of rural living.

What a wonderful versatile family home, I love its location at the end of a country lane creating that peaceful rural lifestyle many look for. There is so much to like here but the unexpected extras are the amazing garden and outbuildings that offer further opportunities
