House For Sale £600,000
A delightful detached Cottage which has been in the same ownership for nearly 15 years and lovingly maintained during this time. It will most certainly appeal to those seeking a rural life in the country and for the 'keen gardener' as there are formal gardens mainly to the side of the Cottage, together with a 24' x 12' Greenhouse with a lpg hotbox. Further options to establish a Smallholding from the separate parcel of land of approximately 1.5 acres in all, offering the opportunity to work towards becoming entirely self-sufficient.
In the world of increasing living costs, this home has the added benefit of privately owned solar panels with a feed in tariff, separate panels for hot water in addition to the immersion heater, Rayburn and woodburner which also provide hot water and heating. Also has its own private water supply and drainage system all helping towards minimising overall running costs.
The accommodation is well laid out and can be accessed by a quaint Entrance Porch with stable door or a modern bright and airy Entrance Hall, which has enough space for a sofa, ideal for relaxing. The Sitting Room offers a real cosy feel and for those cooler nights the impressive fireplace with woodburner will keep you warm. At one end of the room is a door to the Study and the other end opens up to the Cottage style Kitchen/Dining Room, with an oil fired Rayburn which provides hot water, heating and additional cooking facilities. A door leads back to the Entrance Hall with a further door to the Utility Room with Larder and WC. A door opens up to an attached wooden frame constructed lean-to, which we have called the Conservatory, currently fitted with a range of cupboards and another door leading to an open covered area, currently used for storage. These two areas could provide a footprint for a an extension, subject to any planning consents. Upstairs are 3 Double Bedrooms, all offering glimpses over the Land with the main Bedroom having a Dressing Room and Ensuite Bath/Shower Room and there is also a further spacious Bathroom.
The property is approached by its own private gravelled lane which a neighbouring property has a right of way over and is also a public footpath which is infrequently used and does not encroach the Cottage or the Land. At the beginning of lane is a large 5 bar metal gate which opens up to a grass and concrete area leading to a small redundant 12' x 10' two storey barn with potential to convert to a studio, home office or workshop, subject to any planning and associated building regulations.
The formal gardens are mainly to side of the Cottage offering several seating and lawned areas including a 24' x 12' greenhouse. The remaining gardens are given over to a woodland glade with mature trees, a beautiful bank of bluebells (in season), a 11'10" x 8'5" workshop and a hidden summerhouse (in need of some attention) with a wooden decking area to the front.
On the opposite side of the lane is a gravelled driveway which extends into the land providing parking for several types of vehicles. There is a former 15' x 8' garage which houses the private water system with additional storage space.
The land is accessed from the driveway via double opening metal gates which leads into the lower level area of 'Paddock' (acreage to be confirmed) with useful workshop/field shelter measuring approximately 17' x 12' with attached open covered storage areas ideal for garden equipment, sit on mower and logs. Wildlife pond. Small uncut fenced meadow area to attract bees, butterflies.. 4 dedicated vegetable beds. A sloped area of ground mainly left to grass interspersed with some meandering paths and also partly used as an orchard with some well established Apple Trees and a few berry bushes.
The gardens and majority of the land are bordered by a stream and in all further compliment the overall appeal of this home.
