Rectory Lane, Poringland

Occupying a highly regarded position close to everyday amenities, this beautifully extended semi‑detached cottage offers an appealing blend of traditional character and modern living. The property has been thoughtfully updated over time, including recent works to the main roof, and now provides flexible, well-balanced accommodation ideally suited to family life or those looking for additional space to work from home or host guests.

Set back from the road in an elevated position, the cottage immediately creates a welcoming first impression. Off-road parking is available via a shingled driveway, leading to a car port and an integral garage, while a charming picket fence and planted front garden guide you towards the entrance porch. Inside, the porch offers useful storage before opening into the main sitting room — a warm and inviting space centred around a wood-burning stove, ideal for relaxed evenings and cosy gatherings.

A ground floor utility and cloakroom adds everyday convenience, discreetly housing laundry appliances and offering flexibility for future adaptation, such as the creation of a shower room if desired. This thoughtful addition keeps practical tasks out of sight while enhancing the overall functionality of the home.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with four generously proportioned bedrooms, all served by modern double glazing and a cohesive finish throughout. Two of the bedrooms benefit from private en suite facilities, ideal for families with older children or visiting guests. The principal bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom, while the second en suite offers contemporary fittings and stylish detailing. The remaining bedrooms are well suited to a variety of needs, whether as comfortable sleeping accommodation, home offices, or hobby rooms.

A wide patio stretches across the back of the property, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading down to a neatly maintained lawn bordered by raised flower beds. Additional seating space can be found to the side of the property, alongside a useful timber storage shed. The garden is framed by fencing and established hedging, offering both security and seclusion.

Completing the offering is the integral garage, which already benefits from heating and presents exciting potential for conversion into further living accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.
