A rare opportunity to acquire this beautiful 3/4 bedroom home located in a central, yet peaceful and sought after village location. Offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain.
A rare opportunity to acquire this charming 3/4 bedroom Grade II listed, part-thatched cottage dating back to the mid 1800s. The property offers generous living accommodation, ideally positioned in the picturesque and sought after village of Haslingfield. Thoughtfully extended and modernised in the early 2000s, the cottage now combines period character with contemporary comforts, alongside extensive mature gardens which benefit from the serene back drop of Haslingfield Meadow.
Upon entering the home, the entrance hall divides the cottage into two distinct living areas. At either end of the hall are two well-appointed bathrooms, both having the benefit of dual-aspect windows and modern suites, one featuring a corner bath, the other an enclosed shower. The kitchen sets a focal point of the home featuring oak wall and base units, contrasted by sleek black marble worktops. It comes well-equipped with an integrated oven, inset hob and undercounter appliances including a fridge, freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer. French doors from the kitchen lead into a conservatory at the rear, flooding the kitchen with natural light and enjoying open views across the peaceful and well-established gardens.
Adjoining the kitchen, you step into the original incarnation of the cottage which is rich in character and charm. With exposed brick flooring and original fireplaces, it comprises three interconnecting rooms, offering excellent flexibility for use as formal dining areas, family rooms, or a home office. Each room has the benefit of their own feature fireplace. A secondary entrance lobby, formerly the main entrance to the original cottage, is also located off the family room. The main living room sits adjacent to the kitchen and provides a generous and comfortable space for family living, whilst enjoying views over the picturesque gardens. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the spacious principal bedroom, served by an en-suite shower room. Stairs lead to the first floor, where a double bedroom and family room sit within the eaves, adding to the cottage’s character. The bedroom offers a glorious view across Haslingfield Meadow whilst the family room, which has been used as a bedroom in the past, gives direct access to the extensive loft storage.
Access to the home is via a private gated driveway, that offers ample off-road parking. The fabulous mature, well-established gardens extend to just over half an acre offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The part walled gardens feature a combination of lawned areas, mature trees and shrubs, and a pond, creating an attractive and peaceful outdoor setting. A truly unique part of the garden is its historic well that sits proudly within the rear lawn.
