3 bed detached house for sale

Tree Cottage, Bar Lane, Stapleford CB22

A charming quintessential period cottage, surrounded by private well-tended gardens and situated close to the heart of Stapleford, less than a mile from Shelford Station.

This detached early 19th century cottage has served as a family home for over 26 years. Every addition to the property has been thoughtfully considered to ensure the period features weren't compromised.

Exposed beams, original doors, and sash windows sit alongside a sympathetically updated kitchen. Recessed double doors from the dining room lead to an outdoor terrace, whilst an inglenook fireplace brings warmth and character to the living room.

Upstairs are three bedrooms served by a bathroom, with two sets of stairs back to the ground floor accommodation.

Outside the established side and rear gardens are well manicured and stocked with an array of shrubs, beds and fruit bearing trees. The west-facing terrace is well suited to outdoor dining. There is also a timber shed with power and lighting.
