A detached period cottage believed to date back to the mid-19th century, set within a generous plot of approximately one third of an acre and backing directly onto woodland. The property offers a rare opportunity for renovation and improvement, providing significant scope to create a bespoke home in a highly desirable setting.

The property has been in the same ownership for many years and now requires modernisation throughout, offering buyers the chance to reconfigure and enhance the accommodation to suit modern living. Retaining a number of character features, the cottage presents an appealing blend of period charm and future potential.

The overall plot is a particular feature, with mature gardens and a range of outbuildings offering further possibilities, subject to the necessary permissions. The setting provides a peaceful and private environment while still being within easy reach of local amenities.

The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

The Property

Accommodation

Inside

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers a flexible layout with a number of reception spaces.

On the ground floor, an entrance porch leads into a spacious hallway, which provides access to the principal rooms and sets the tone for the character of the property. There are three reception rooms, offering versatile living and dining areas, each with individual features and potential for reconfiguration depending on requirements.

The kitchen offers scope for updating or redesign, with the potential to create a more open-plan arrangement if desired. There are also additional spaces on the ground floor which could be adapted for a variety of uses depending on individual requirements.

Stairs rise to the first floor where the landing leads to three bedrooms, all of which offer good proportions. The accommodation on this level is served by two bathrooms.

Outside

The property is set within a generous plot extending to approximately one third of an acre, offering a mature and well established garden. The grounds back directly onto woodland, providing a high level of privacy and an attractive natural outlook.

There are a number of outbuildings within the garden, offering further potential for storage, workshop use or possible conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

The size and layout of the plot may also offer potential for further development, again subject to planning permission.
