This stunning former estate workers small holding previously formed part of the Hawkstone Estate. Offering a truly extraordinary rural lifestyle open to the countryside and direct access into the woodlands.

Approaching Rock Cottage from the no-through road, you'll pass through a wooden gate into the private driveway, where you'll be greeted by a paddock, oak trees, and a large sandstone outcrop, from which the house was historically carved. The exterior is well-maintained and exudes old estate features.

The ground floor offers a variety of inviting spaces, suitable for various activities. The large reception room is ideal for multi-generational living, entertainment, or relaxation with the family. Continuing through the hallway, you'll find a large family/entertaining kitchen boasting a newly fitted kitchen and dining area with brand new Rayburn stove, separate Bosch oven, and hob, perfect for culinary enthusiasts. Warm underfloor heating radiates through the limestone flagstone floor, flowing seamlessly through to the lobby, living room, utility, and plant room.

The living room provides a warm and cosy environment, with French doors leading to a private patio area that was once a piggery. A feature log burner adds extra warmth and serves as a central focal point. Large windows flood the room with sunlight.
