Property description

Tucked away in a peaceful village setting, Dale Cottage is a beautifully presented and highly versatile period home, offering a unique blend of traditional charm, well-appointed interiors, and flexible living arrangements. With elevations of natural stone and painted render beneath slate roofs, the property is arranged as three self-contained yet interconnected areas, making it ideal as a spacious four-bedroom family home, a dual-occupation residence, or a home with income potential.

The main residence is full of character and warmth and comprises of 3 bedrooms altogether. The entrance hall, with tiled flooring and built-in storage, leads to a ground floor shower room and a practical utility area. The sitting room, complete with an ornamental stone fireplace and exposed stone wall, is a wonderfully light and inviting space, thanks to French doors opening onto a decked terrace and the garden beyond. The adjoining dining room features a period fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while terracotta tiled floors and wooden worktops add rustic charm. This space opens into a well-equipped country-style kitchen/breakfast room with cream cabinetry, wood-effect surfaces, integrated appliances, and a central peninsula separating the two areas. A concealed staircase rises to the first floor, where a spacious landing leads to the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a thoughtfully appointed bathroom with a wood-panelled bath and traditional fittings.

Connected to the main house yet also independently accessible, the single-storey annexe provides a private living space ideal for guests or extended family. This light-filled, double-aspect living room and kitchen area is fitted with units and includes integrated appliances. The bedroom offers ample storage, and the en-suite shower room is attractively tiled and well-appointed.

The two-storey cottage wing is a charming self-contained annexe with its own entrance, offering complete independence. On the ground floor, the entrance hall houses the oil-fired central heating boiler and overhead clothes airer, while the bathroom includes both handheld and overhead showers. The sitting/dining room is a true period gem, with an Inglenook fireplace, quarry tiled floors, exposed beams and brickwork, and original features. A second kitchen is well-fitted with appliances and wood-effect work surfaces, providing everything needed for a fully independent living space. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, complete this delightful cottage-style annexe.

Outside, the grounds are as impressive as the interiors. The main garden is secluded and beautifully landscaped, with sweeping lawns, mature planting, and a raised decked terrace and stone patio offering perfect spots for relaxing or entertaining. A stone and slate outhouse sits in one corner of the garden, adding further charm and practicality. The garden borders the peaceful village churchyard, providing a tranquil and timeless outlook.

To the side of the property, a brick-paved driveway provides ample parking, including space for a motorhome or caravan. This leads to a double detached garage with a tiled floor, power, lighting, and useful eaves storage. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, this space may offer potential for conversion. Raised borders, external lighting, and a pedestrian gate leading into the main garden enhance the overall appeal. Additional practical features include a log store, an external water tap, and an oil tank serving the entire property.

Dale Cottage is a rare and captivating home, offering a wealth of possibilities for a range of lifestyles. Whether you're seeking a family residence with space to grow, a multi-generational home, or a peaceful retreat with income potential, this beautifully kept and thoughtfully arranged property deserves to be viewed to be fully appreciated.
