Situated along an idyllic road surrounded by rolling fields and picturesque greenery, this charming Grade II listed cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved home brimming with character and period charm.

The property is also ideally located to enjoy the stunning surrounding countryside, including nearby nature reserves and scenic walks.

Approached via a pathway leading through a well-maintained front garden laid to lawn with mature shrubs and planting, the property immediately showcases its historic appeal. Internally, the home is rich in character, with exposed beams throughout and a wealth of original features that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cosy lounge serves as the heart of the home, centred around an attractive brick feature fireplace complete with a log-burning stove, whilst original windows to the front elevation further enhance the property's charm and authenticity.

The kitchen continues the cottage feel and is fitted with an attractive oak kitchen offering the flexibility to be repainted to suit individual tastes. It is equipped with an electric oven, extractor fan, integrated fridge freezer, and space for a washing machine, providing practicality alongside character. A traditional stable door opens directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces and allowing plenty of natural light to fill the room.

To the first floor, the property offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks and retaining the cottage's distinctive character. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage, whilst the accommodation is completed by a family bathroom serving both bedrooms.

Externally, the property truly excels with its beautifully established south-facing English cottage garden. Thoughtfully landscaped and lovingly maintained, the garden features a patio seating area, extensive mature beds and borders, a lawned area, ornamental pond, and a useful storage shed. The garden enjoys a delightful outlook across open rolling fields to the rear, creating a peaceful and private setting that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. There is also potential to replace the existing shed with an additional patio or seating area, allowing future owners to make the most of the stunning countryside views.

Further benefits include a garage located to the rear of the property, providing valuable storage space, together with off-road parking positioned in front of the garage.

Combining period charm, character-filled accommodation, a sought-after rural setting, and a beautifully established garden with countryside views, this delightful Grade II listed cottage offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the unique charm and setting of this wonderful home. Palmer & Partners would encourage an early internal inspection to avoid disappointment.
