Three Horseshoes Cottage is a beautiful Grade II listed 18th-century home that seamlessly combines historic charm with modern convenience. The property is filled with period details that add character, including inglenook fireplaces and exposed structural timberwork throughout. Its rich historical roots are evident in every corner, creating an authentic aesthetic that captures the essence of its era. With versatile living space, the cottage provides ample room for a comfortable lifestyle, making it a true gem among countryside homes.

The home’s layout features a flexible, extended four to five-bedroom arrangement, offering spacious living areas that are both functional and inviting. Each room has been thoughtfully designed to complement the rustic charm of the cottage, with touches that preserve its traditional feel. The bedrooms, accessed through two staircases, are well-appointed with exposed timberwork, built-in wardrobes, and charming picture windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The spacious conservatory offers a light-filled haven with garden views, perfect for relaxation or entertaining.

Outside, the meticulously landscaped gardens wrap around the property, creating a picturesque setting that enhances the home’s overall charm. Thoughtfully arranged flower beds, an orchard, and an ornamental pond provide a sanctuary for nature lovers. Additionally, a barn on the property offers potential for further development, subject to necessary permissions, adding yet another layer of possibility for those seeking both charm and functionality.

The recently restored thatched roof, meticulously maintained by Clive Dodson and Son, reflects the commitment to preserving the home’s heritage. This attention to detail is mirrored in the careful upkeep of the entire property, ensuring it remains in excellent condition. The roof restoration, involving re-ridging, re-netting, and combing, has not only enhanced its durability but also preserved the classic appearance of this historic home.

Three Horseshoes Cottage is a quintessentially charming English home set within beautiful cottage gardens and complete with enchanting countryside views. The property’s historical character, combined with its expansive and versatile layout, makes it a truly unique offering. It’s a home that invites you to step into the past while enjoying all the comforts of today, and it must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.

Seller Insight
"Three Horseshoes Cottage has been my cherished home for 40 years. What first drew us to this house was the barn space, which my husband lovingly used for antique restoration and as a workshop. From the moment I walked through the door, the cottage had a special warmth, a unique connection that immediately felt right. Our children were teenagers here, and it was a wonderful, safe place for them to grow up. The barn, with all its potential, added to the home’s charm and character.

"Over the years, we have carefully restored parts of the house, preserving its rich history. The hallway, once used to store beer when the cottage served as a pub, has been transformed. We also added a solid oak conservatory, where I love to spend time, especially in spring and summer, gazing out onto our beautiful, south-facing garden.

"The garden has been a true delight. We’ve enjoyed growing vegetables, watching the birds, and taking in the open field views, which offer stunning sunsets. The privacy and seclusion make it a peaceful retreat.

"Entertaining here has been one of life’s greatest pleasures. My eldest daughter was even married at the cottage, and the house has always felt magical at Christmas, with its oak beams and inglenook fireplace creating a warm and cosy atmosphere.

"We are fortunate to be part of such a close-knit, friendly community. Our neighbours have become dear friends, and the village has always been welcoming. With nearby amenities in Ramsey just four miles away and lovely dog walks right outside our doorstep, it’s a perfect balance of country living and convenience.

"As I prepare to downsize and move closer to my daughter, I wish I could somehow bring this home with me. Everyone who visits always comments on the wonderful feeling inside the house, which I believe comes from its history as a pub—it has such a welcoming spirit. I will miss so much: the ambiance, the peacefulness, the sun streaming into the conservatory, and the warmth of the aga that our beagle loves so much.

"There’s also a special history within these walls. Eric Morecambe’s son lived here before us, and we even found the old deeds in the hall floor space, complete with an old wax seal—just one of the many treasures this house holds."
