A beautifully situated country home set in a truly idyllic rural setting on the English/Welsh border.
Set in a wonderfully peaceful rural position on the English and Welsh border, Fields Cottage is a charming country home enjoying far-reaching views across rolling countryside and quiet country lanes. Occupying a particularly idyllic setting, the property combines the character and tranquillity of rural living with convenient access to nearby market towns, business centres and transport connections. Having been cherished by the same family for over 45 years, the house offers a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved home with a genuine connection to its surroundings.
The accommodation is both versatile and well balanced, extending to four bedrooms with the flexibility to provide a fifth bedroom if required. The layout lends itself equally well to family life, multi-generational living, guest accommodation or home working.
Accessed via a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom, the principal reception room is a delightful lounge centred around a log-burning stove set within a brick inglenook fireplace, creating an inviting focal point. A sitting room is situated adjacent to a ground floor shower room, offering considerable flexibility as a family room or guest bedroom.
At the heart of the home is a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, designed for everyday living and informal dining, while the adjacent dining room with a bay window provides an elegant setting for entertaining and family gatherings.
In addition is a dedicated study, ideal for those working from home or requiring additional hobby and storage space.
A large utility room provides useful storage and direct access to the rear of the property and a conservatory enjoys views across the gardens and opens directly onto a patio terrace, creating a seamless link between the house and its beautiful outdoor setting. Throughout the home, windows frame the surrounding countryside, allowing natural light to flood the interiors and enhancing the sense of connection with the landscape beyond.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room and a comfortable seating area from which to enjoy far-reaching rural viewst. Three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and offer flexible accommodation for family members, guests or additional workspace if required. A number of built-in cupboards, together with extensive loft storage, provide excellent practical storage throughout.
The gardens are a particularly noteworthy feature and have been thoughtfully cultivated over many years to create a wonderfully established and attractive environment. To the front, a cottage-style garden provides an appealing approach to the house, rich in colour, texture and seasonal interest. To the rear, the gardens extend behind the property and adjoin open fields, creating a remarkable sense of privacy and seclusion. Mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants provide year-round interest, while a variety of seating areas offer opportunities to enjoy both sunshine and shade throughout the day.
The grounds provide a delightful setting for gardening, outdoor entertaining and wildlife watching, all against a backdrop of uninterrupted countryside. Further enhancing the property's appeal are a useful workshop and log store, providing practical space for hobbies, equipment and outdoor storage.
Fields Cottage presents a rare combination of flexible family accommodation, mature gardens and a stunning rural setting, offering an exceptional opportunity to enjoy country living in one of the area's most picturesque locations.
