"A charming Grade II listed stone cottage with over 1,150 sq. ft. of beautifully preserved accommodation, blending character features with practical living spaces"
The Property
This charming Grade II listed 19th-century stone cottage, with its distinctive slate roof, offers a perfect blend of period character and modern comforts. Boasting three bedrooms and a spacious four-piece bathroom, the property features two characterful reception rooms with original period details. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with a walk-in pantry and utility room, offers excellent functionality. Externally, the cottage is surrounded by mature gardens and benefits from an additional plot of land. Located in a picturesque village with excellent local amenities and transport links, this home provides both tranquillity and convenience.
The property’s accommodation, in excess of 1,150 sq.ft., boasts traditional features such as oak doors, high vaulted ceilings, and original fireplaces.
Upon entering, an enclosed entrance porch offers practical storage space. A solid oak door leads into the main reception room, which is laid to carpet and features a large bay window that fills the space with natural light. A log burner adds a cosy touch, complemented by fitted media cabinetry built around the chimney breast. From here, there is access to a study area, which includes additional storage cleverly built under the stairs.
The kitchen is beautifully designed, combining functionality with a welcoming space for entertaining. It features an elegant range of cream base and wall-mounted units with granite work surfaces, complemented by stylish oak-effect vinyl flooring. A traditional Belfast sink is paired with a range of integrated appliances, including a gas-hob Aga cooker, double fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. With ample room for a dining table, this area is perfect for hosting or enjoying family meals. A leaded window to the rear and a stable door opening to the garden fill the space with natural light and provide seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
A walk-in pantry offers additional storage, while the adjoining utility room provides space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A convenient ground-floor cloakroom completes this versatile and well-thought-out space.
Upstairs, the high vaulted ceilings continue to impress. Bedroom one, with its feature fireplace and fitted wardrobe, overlooks the side of the property, while the second bedroom enjoys a front-facing aspect and also features a charming fireplace. The third bedroom is a versatile space, currently used as an additional study and dressing room, with cleverly designed storage within the vaulted ceiling above the entrance.
The luxurious bathroom is a true highlight complete with tiled flooring, featuring a four-piece suite that includes a roll-top bath, a large walk-in shower, Jack and Jill double sinks mounted on a stylish wooden unit, a heated towel rail, and a rear-facing leaded window.
Externally
Externally, the property offers a variety of outdoor spaces to enjoy. The charming front garden features a well-maintained lawn and flower borders, paved pathway leading to the entrance, along with the convenience of a single outdoor power socket. At the rear, a paved courtyard acts as a sheltered suntrap.
The main rear garden, accessed through a storage outbuilding and up brick steps, is thoughtfully designed with a low-maintenance shingle seating area, and a spacious lawn framed by established shrub and flower borders. Toward the back, a large composite decking area creates an ideal setting for entertaining and enjoying the outdoors. The external space also includes three outbuildings, two of which are equipped with power and lighting, providing excellent storage or potential workspace options.
Beyond the main garden, the property includes an additional plot of land offset from the house, featuring mature trees and a spacious lawn – a peaceful space perfect for recreation, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
