Occupying a stunning privately accessed rural setting, Marsh Farm Cottage offers a range of opportunity with the rare benefit of substantial grounds of just over six acres and substantial outbuildings (which includes an agricultural barn unit accessed away from the main house).

The extensive accommodation comprises three south-facing ground floor reception rooms. The main sitting room has attractive wooden beams, exposed brick fire place and access to the garden. Towards the front of the house there is an extensive farmhouse kitchen with roof lights allowing plenty of natural light throughout. Towards the end of the ground floor there is a large double bedroom (en suite), currently used as a home office. Completing the accommodation downstairs there is a utility room, bathroom and entrance hall.

The main bedroom suite upstairs is a particular feature. Accessed from the dressing room/informal sitting room, sliding doors open onto a decked balcony/lounge area with southerly views towards the coast.

Completing the first floor accommodation there are two further double bedrooms. The main guest room provides a bath and w/c and in our opinion is ideal for AirBnB. Plenty of storage is provided within the eaves.

The land at Marsh Farm Cottage extends to approximately six acres, comprising of an access track, land separated in to two fields and an agricultural barn. Each of the two fields can be accessed independently from a parking area at the end of the access track.

The barn is steel framed and is approximately 30 ft by 60 ft in size, with power and water.

Surrounding the main house there is an attractive garden of just under half an acre. The garden has large areas laid to lawn and is screened with hedgerows and mature trees.

Beside the main house there is a detached garage/workshop and an independently accessed loft room above. Set away from the drive there is a further detached outbuilding, ideal for conversion.

The property is approached along a driveway accessed from a private lane. Ample parking is provided aside the main house or parking area on the approach.
