About this property

Step into a piece of living history. This charming three-bedroom cottage, dating back to around 1750, blends timeless character with generous modern living, all set against the backdrop of breathtaking open countryside.

Extended twice over the years, the home now offers versatile space perfect for today’s family life while retaining its original period features and warmth. A large driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and a double garage provide practicality for a home of this age, while to the rear, uninterrupted green agricultural views create a truly peaceful setting.

Inside the ground floor is wonderfully spacious, featuring a separate dining room, well proportioned kitchen and utility area, and the added benefit of a ground floor bedroom with direct garden access, ideal for guests, multi generational living or working from home. With both a bathroom and a separate shower room downstairs, the layout offers flexibility that’s hard to find in period properties.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation with the convenience of a WC as well as the two bathrooms downstairs, but it’s the garden and countryside outlook that truly steals the show. A tranquil retreat where every day feels like an escape to the country.

Lovingly owned by the same owner since 1987, this home has been cherished for nearly four decades. The current owner’s deep connection to the village and surroundings speaks volumes about the lifestyle on offer here. Peaceful, friendly and beautifully rural. With the added advantage of the owner already securing a property in the same village with no onward chain, buyers can look forward to a smoother, more confident move.

Imagine mornings overlooking rolling green fields, summer evenings in the garden with nothing but birdsong for company, and the comfort of knowing you own a home rich in history yet perfectly suited to modern living.

Homes of this character, setting and flexibility are rarely available. To truly appreciate the space, views and lifestyle this beautiful cottage offers, book your viewing today — and take the first step toward your own countryside story.
