Enchanting Grade II Listed family home with detached annexe.
Description
Dating back to around 1798, this enchanting, detached Grade II Listed cottage showcases timeless charm with its rendered exterior and striking peg-tiled roof. Originally two cottages, it has been tastefully extended and refined over the years, resulting in a stunning family home. Characterful elements such as exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, and leaded light windows have been lovingly maintained, while sympathetic updates blend seamlessly with the original design. Positioned prominently, the property enjoys a tranquil setting within private, beautifully landscaped gardens.
The interior offers a wealth of inviting spaces, including a spacious living room with an inglenook fireplace, a wood-burning stove, and a door opening onto the rear terrace. The dining room features another wood-burning stove set on a raised brick hearth, perfect for cozy gatherings. A bright conservatory with tiled flooring and French doors leads directly to the garden, while the kitchen/breakfast room is fully equipped with an array of fitted units, worktops, and integrated appliances, including a double oven, five-ring induction hob, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom equipped with a bathtub, washbasin, and walk-in shower.
Planning permission (24/03585/HFUL) has recently been secured to construct a single-story side and rear extension, designed to replace the existing conservatory and expand the fourth bedroom, offering even greater flexibility.
The rear garden is a private haven, featuring a neatly trimmed lawn bordered by mature shrubs and hedging. A broad paved terrace wraps around the rear of the home, creating a perfect spot for outdoor relaxation. The property also boasts a detached one-bedroom annexe, thoughtfully converted from former outbuildings. This additional space includes an open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen, featuring an integrated oven, hob, and sink, along with plumbing for a washing machine. A comfortable double bedroom and a shower room with a walk-in shower, WC, and washbasin complete the annexe. It offers potential as guest accommodation, a rental opportunity, or a space for older children.
