This distinctive brick and flint cottage occupies a generous plot of around a quarter of an acre (stms) and enjoys open countryside views from its edge-of-village position. Dating back to the mid-19th century, the home has been carefully evolved to offer flexible accommodation while retaining its period charm. One of its standout features is the defined layout, with separate reception spaces that suit both everyday living and entertaining. The south-facing living room, complete with a wood-burning stove and space for a study area, offers a warm and versatile heart to the home. Two ground-floor bedrooms and a shower room provide excellent adaptability, particularly for those seeking ground-level living. The conservatory and sun-filled garden rooms create a strong connection between the house and its rural surroundings. Outside, the in-and-out driveway and double garage add practicality rarely found with a property of this age. Further potential is offered by the existing planning and services in place for a static caravan or ancillary accommodation, opening up lifestyle or income opportunities.
