Set within a stunning countryside position, this charming period cottage offers far-reaching rural views, generous living space and a wealth of original character. Dating back to the 1700s, the property has been thoughtfully extended and adapted over time, creating a versatile family home that sits comfortably within its substantial plot. With two separate driveways, extensive gardens and uninterrupted views to the rear, this is a truly special setting.

Internally, the home retains many original features while offering flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. There are four reception rooms, including a welcoming entrance room and a characterful sitting room featuring a large stone fireplace with log burner. The kitchen is full of rustic charm and connects seamlessly to a bright conservatory, which enjoys panoramic views across the garden and surrounding countryside. Additional ground floor spaces include a pantry, utility room and a well-appointed family bathroom.

Upstairs, the property offers four generously sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom and second bedroom both enjoy views to the front and retain period details, while the remaining two bedrooms overlook open countryside to the rear, providing a peaceful and private outlook. Storage cupboards are conveniently positioned on both landings.

Externally, the rear garden is a standout feature, extending to approximately 80ft by 120ft. It is well stocked with mature shrubs, fruit trees including apple, pear and plum, a productive vegetable patch, a pond, shed and a patio area ideal for outdoor dining. The garden is private and enjoys uninterrupted countryside views, creating a tranquil outdoor space that changes beautifully with the seasons.

To the front and side, the property benefits from two separate driveways, offering ample off-road parking and further enhancing the practicality of this unique home.
