About this property
Welcome to Rosemary Cottage...
Your opportunity to own a little piece of history. Formerly the gardeners cottage to the nearby Burton Grange Estate, the central part of this home dates back to the mid-1800s. Thoughtfully extended over the years, Rosemary Cottage has grown into the wonderful 4-bedroom family home you see today, with close attention paid to its original features and intricate brickwork, so every addition feels entirely at home.
The property is set back from the road, behind fenced gardens with a gate for access, where you can park your car safely. Edged in shrubs and flowers to add a pretty pop of colour, the front garden leads to the entrance to the property.
The current owners move on with a heavy heart, but the time is right to pass the baton, and all the warmth and memories that come with it, to a new family ready to write their own chapter at Rosemary Cottage.
Come on in...
Step inside to a welcoming entrance hallway, where quarry floor tiles meet a striking spiral staircase that winds its way up to the first floor, creating an intriguing first impression.
From the hall, the kitchen beckons - the true heart of the home. Generously fitted with cream shaker-style units and integrated appliances, including oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer, it’s as practical as it is attractive. Karndean flooring adds a hard-wearing yet stylish finish underfoot.
An opening draws you through into the dining room, which sits in the oldest part of the cottage. French doors flood the space with light, opening directly onto the south-facing garden, while a feature cast-iron fireplace adds a touch of period elegance.
Positioned at the front of the property, the living room is a wonderfully cosy retreat, perfect for quiet evenings in. A beautiful feature fireplace with intricate tiled insets takes centre stage, adding charm and character. There is a third reception room, currently used as a study and, more recently, the grandchildren’s playroom. A utility room is tucked away at the rear of this room, with a WC and a wash hand basin, and the pipework is already in situ to turn this into a shower room, should you require a ground-floor bedroom.
“Everyone always comes here for Christmas. We’ve had some great parties over the years.”
First floor...
The principal bedroom sits at the front of the property. A generous room with its own en-suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms, each enjoying views over the garden, are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside...
The front garden is neat and low-maintenance, secured behind wooden fencing with a side gate. There’s ample space to park two cars comfortably, with flower beds adding a welcome splash of seasonal colour.
A raised patio, accessed directly from the dining room, is the perfect spot to savour an evening glass of wine or a morning cup of tea, with birdsong from the nearby trees as your soundtrack.
The lawn sweeps out from the patio, bordered by colourful flowers and shrubs. A productive plum tree yields a generous harvest each year - perfect for jams and crumbles - and raised vegetable beds invite you to grow your own, from tomatoes to beans.
The rear garden is generous in size, with vehicular access via the neighbouring lane. A large hardstanding at the far end provides ideal storage for a caravan or motorhome.
There is a useful garage space and an adjacent studio/workshop, which has served as a small business premises for many years. Planning permission has already been granted to convert this building into a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, opening up exciting possibilities for multi-generational living or a rental income stream.
Sitting on a plot approaching a third of an acre, this property offers the opportunity to extend and mould to your own requirements.
