Charming Four-Bedroom Cottage with Historic Character and Modern Comforts
Steeped in history and full of charm, this delightful four-bedroom cottage was once a traditional almshouse and has been thoughtfully upgraded to blend timeless period features with modern-day comfort. Nestled in a tranquil setting, the home boasts a low-maintenance front garden, thoughtfully landscaped and enhanced by a newly built wooden pergola — complete with coloured lighting and external electricity points, creating the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining outdoors.
Inside, the cottage retains much of its original character, with exposed timber beams, PVC leaded double-glazed windows, and other charming period details that reflect its heritage. The generously sized living spaces have been sympathetically modernised, incorporating contemporary fittings and finishes without compromising the building’s authentic charm.
To the rear, a private courtyard garden provides outdoor space and storage, currently housing two garden sheds surrounded by the mellow tones of old brickwork and period detailing.
Uniquely, a bridge from the first floor provides access to a secret rear garden, currently left in a natural state but full of potential. This hidden space offers a rare opportunity to create a landscaped retreat, vegetable garden, or wildflower haven — limited only by imagination.
Each of the four bedrooms offers its own unique charm, with characterful touches and thoughtful design throughout. The Modern bathroom and a well-appointed kitchen provide all the conveniences of 21st-century living while harmonising with the property's traditional aesthetic.
This is a rare opportunity to own a unique home that balances historic integrity with stylish, sensitive renovation — perfect for those seeking character, comfort, and a true sense of place. A truly One Off property.

Living Room 3.16m x 5.05m (10ft 4in x 16ft 6in)
The cottage lounge exudes a calm, welcoming charm, bathed in soft, neutral tones that enhance its serene atmosphere. The centerpiece of the room is a white wooden fireplace surround, standing proudly against a gentle neutral backdrop. Though currently unused, the fireplace adds a touch of character and serves as a subtle focal point, hinting at cozy winter evenings to come.
Natural light filters gently through a PVC leaded window that looks out over the front garden, adding a quaint, traditional touch while illuminating the space. The walls are painted in soothing white and beige hues, harmonizing with the light gray sparkle carpet underfoot, which adds a soft texture and a faint glimmer to the room.
Kitchen 1.70m x 4.57m (5ft 6in x 14ft 11in)
This light-filled modern cottage kitchen features dual-aspect windows, bringing natural light and views of the rear courtyard. White wooden wall and base units are complemented by white high-gloss glitter-effect worktops, adding subtle sparkle and contemporary charm. A built-in oven sits beneath a gas hob, while a stainless steel sink with mixer tap combines style and functionality. Tiled flooring provides durability, and a rear door leads directly to the courtyard and two garden sheds. Stairs adjacent to the door rise to the next level, adding a charming multi-level layout to this practical, stylish kitchen.
Hallway 5.25m x 1.85m (17ft 2in x 6ft)
The hallway exudes a warm, classic charm with a touch of modern elegance. A PVC leaded glass window, set above the front garden, acts as a striking focal point with added window seat. The glass adds both privacy and sophistication, offering a glimpse of greenery beyond without compromising the interior’s serenity.
Underfoot, a soft grey carpet stretches the length of the space, grounding the hallway with a subtle, plush texture. Its neutral hue complements the surrounding walls, which are finished in a gently textured plaster and painted in warm, neutral tones.
Adding architectural interest, wooden beam effects run horizontally or vertically along the walls, emulating rustic timber framing. These beams, slightly weathered in appearance, bring in an earthy, tactile contrast to the smooth paint and add a touch of cottage-inspired character to an otherwise contemporary setting.
Bathroom 2.07m x 3.97m (6ft 9in x 13ft)

Opposite, a white WC complements the clean lines, while a 1700mm walk-in shower with frameless glass and marble-effect tiles adds a spa-like feel. Blue, white, and grey tile-effect flooring unifies the space, with natural light from a PVC window keeping the room bright and airy.

Beyond the patio doors lies a charming bridge that gently arches over a landscaped feature, leading to a secluded walkway.

Though presently utilized for storage, the room's generous proportions and serene ambiance hint at its true potential as a peaceful and inviting bedroom, office or creative retreat.
Top Hallway 4.70m x 2.14m (15ft 5in x 7ft)
