Situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Zeals, this delightful mid-1800s semi-detached stone cottage is bursting with character, charm, and exciting potential. With a large garden backing onto open fields, wonderful original features, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, this is the perfect countryside escape.
Step inside and be transported back in time, where deep window sills, exposed beams, and an impressive inglenook fireplace with a bressummer beam and wood burner create an enchanting, cosy retreat. Beneath the current flooring, original flagstones are waiting to be uncovered, adding even more charm and history to this charming home.
The good sized kitchen/dining room is perfect for small gatherings, while the charming sitting room provides a relaxing space to unwind by the fire. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms offer peaceful views over the surrounding countryside, making every morning feel like a getaway.
Outside, the large garden is a true highlight—backing onto open fields, it’s a private haven where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Whether you’re dreaming of alfresco dining, a vegetable patch, or simply a tranquil space to relax, this garden has endless possibilities. Off-road parking for two cars adds convenience to this idyllic rural retreat.
While the cottage could benefit from updating, it offers a rare opportunity to create your dream home while preserving its rich history and charm. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a countryside getaway, this authentic English cottage is full of warmth, character, and potential.
A true hidden gem—don’t miss your chance to make it your own!
