Set in a picturesque village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this exceptional semi-detached cottage offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern family living. With roots dating back to the 1700s and thoughtfully extended over the years, this home has been lovingly cared for as a cherished family home for more than 40 years—making it a truly special place for creating lasting memories.
The property features three to four generously sized double bedrooms, offering plenty of space for growing families. The versatile layout includes three to four reception rooms, ideal for creating distinct spaces for relaxation, play, and work. Imagine cosy evenings in the sitting room by the inglenook fireplace and wood burner, or opening the double doors into the adjoining dining room or playroom for family gatherings. There’s also a bright conservatory for unwinding in the sunshine, plus a dedicated study that can easily double as a fourth bedroom to suit your needs.
At the heart of the home is the expansive L-shaped kitchen/family/dining room—a warm and welcoming hub where everyone can come together to cook, dine, and share stories. With a convenient ground-floor shower room and a modern first-floor family bathroom, the home is perfectly designed to meet the needs of busy family life.
The outdoor spaces are equally impressive, featuring excellent off-street parking—essential for the village—and a large, private rear garden. This tranquil space is ideal for children and pets to play, for entertaining guests, or simply for relaxing as a family.
Conveniently located close to village amenities, schools, and surrounded by beautiful countryside, this unique home offers the perfect balance of community and rural living. With over four decades as a beloved family home, it’s ready to welcome its next chapter of joy and togetherness.
