Charming Extended Cottage in the Heart of Rock – Set in Approx. Half an Acre

Hayden Estates are delighted to bring to market this beautifully extended family home, tucked away in the picturesque village of Rock. Originally dating back to around 1705, this former two-up, two-down cottage has evolved into a spacious and character-filled residence, sympathetically extended over the years—most recently by the current owners, who have loved and cared for it for the past 27 years.

Set behind gated access along a peaceful country lane frequented by walkers and horse riders, the home enjoys a wonderfully tranquil setting, surrounded by mature gardens and abundant local wildlife.

This brick-built, colour-washed home retains a wealth of charm with original features including ledge-and-brace doors with traditional ironwork and exposed timbers.

To the front is a driveway offering generous parking in front of an impressive double garage. The gardens wrap around the home, offering a greenhouse, vegetable plot, log store, and a private lawned area enclosed by mature hedging. A paved patio to the rear creates the perfect suntrap for outdoor dining. In total, the plot extends to approximately half an acre — complete with its own original well!

Internally, the property benefits from oil-fired central heating with a new boiler installed in November 2024 and majority double glazing. There are three reception rooms, a spacious dining kitchen, utility, cloakroom, four well-proportioned bedrooms, and a main bedroom with en suite.

Rock village offers a warm community feel with two pubs serving food, the Millennium Green and community centre hosting regular events, plus a striking church at its heart. Nearby Clows Top provides local amenities including a shop and butcher.

This is a truly unique opportunity to enjoy space, character and countryside charm — early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all this home has to offer.
