3 bedroom cottage for sale

Description Wow! So much to say here- where to start!...……………………………………….

We will start with the main accommodation and what a delight it is. This Grade II Listed Cottage is packed to the brim with history and charm with wonderful exposed ancient ships beams in several rooms, deep set cottage style windows - many with window seats, a number with exposed stone floors, original doors, spice cupboards and charming nooks and crannies - interestingly though the accommodation is surprisingly spacious - often a rarity with cottages of this age!

From the moment you step inside a warm and welcoming feeling draws you in further. Fascinating echos from the past are around every corner and the history of the cottage has been researched extensively. High Stott Park has been a much loved family home for over 20 years and is now offered for sale only due to down sizing needs.

Along with this lovely home are superb and extensive mature Gardens. The Gardens have been a labour of love for the last 20 years or so and now the rewards are being reaped. There are sections of woodland, lawn, sunny spots, shady spots, patios, all with a variety of mature trees and shrubs including acers, azaleas, rhododendrons and camellias all providing a profusion of colour at different times of the year. To the front of the property there is a cottage Garden area and a very sweet stone piggery. Beatrix Potter who lived near to High Stott Park Cottage used to purchase pigs from a previous occupant Jane Scales and she and the property are mentioned in her book 'The Fairy Caravan'. Perhaps the most interesting of all is the Barn with Garages under which has Planning passed to create a 4 Bedroom Family Home with the Living accommodation and En-Suite Bedroom on the Upper Floor and 3 further Bedrooms and Bathroom on the Lower Floor if required.
