Steeped in history, the property retains its character with exposed original timbers, thick walls, and a wealth of period features. The lounge, with its striking brick fireplace and inviting beams, offers the ultimate cosy retreat, while the principal bedroom benefits from a newly renovated en-suite bathroom featuring a vintage French-inspired ‘sitz’ step bath. Two further double bedrooms are served by a separate shower room, providing flexible accommodation.
The heart of the home is the generous kitchen/dining room, which boasts a range of wall and base units, ample space for a dining table, and direct access to the garden room. Sunlight floods the interiors, creating a warm and vibrant atmosphere throughout.
Beyond the main house, a fully equipped, detached two-storey annexe - affectionately known as ‘The Lodge’ - offers additional accommodation, ideal for guests, dependent relatives, or as a potential holiday let (subject to permissions). A recently added oak-framed double carport includes a workshop and an insulated loft room with an en-suite shower room, making an ideal home office or creative studio.
Set within approximately 1/3 acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, Sun Cottage is a true sanctuary. Once overgrown and in need of care, the grounds have been transformed into a flourishing retreat, featuring terraces, winding paths, and 43 stunning Acers among a variety of specimen plants. Designed to capture the sun throughout the day, the gardens provide a peaceful and private escape. Each year, they have been opened to the public for charity events benefiting St Margaret’s Church, welcoming visitors to enjoy vibrant floral displays in a serene setting.
Sun Cottage is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines historical charm with modern convenience. Offering privacy, character, and a strong sense of community, it is a place where memories are made and cherished for years to come.
