While the cottage is in well-maintained condition, it retains a somewhat dated aesthetic and would benefit from modernisation. This presents a fantastic opportunity for refurbishment, extension, or even a complete rebuild, subject to any necessary consents. This is a rare opportunity to create a dream home in a highly sought-after location, blending traditional charm with modern comforts.

Externally

Set on a generous plot of circa 0.85 acres, the property includes a paddock of approximately three-quarters of an acre, providing ample space for outdoor activities, gardening, or even keeping animals. One corner of the paddock features a small orchard area with fruit trees.

The front garden is accessed through a pedestrian gateway from the driveway and is divided into two distinct areas: one side laid to lawn and the other a low-maintenance gravel garden with an ornamental pond, creating a welcoming and attractive entrance to the property. A door to the side of the cottage leads to a covered walkway around the property, providing easy access to the rear garden.

The generous, fully enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn for ease of maintenance, providing a blank canvas for the keen gardener. It also includes a fully lined cedar summerhouse with an adjoining mower shed, both with power and light connected, perfect for enjoying outdoor activities and al fresco dining during the warmer months.

Additionally, the property features a sizeable outbuilding and a garage, offering substantial storage or workshop space. The outbuilding was formerly used as stabling and a barn and is now utilised as a workshop with an attached garage. Within the workshop, a staircase leads to a generous attic space, offering potential to convert into a self-contained annexe, subject to any necessary permissions.
