An exceptional opportunity to acquire this charming and extensively improved detached 3 double bedroom character cottage, occupying a peaceful and tucked away position within a small rural hamlet, surrounded by open countryside and set within approximately 1.3 acres of gardens and grounds.
The property has been significantly enhanced by the current owner, including a new roof and a comprehensive programme of internal modernisation, whilst carefully retaining much of the original character. Further improvements include the reconfiguration of the external space with an upgraded lane approach, additional elevated parking area enjoying views over the gardens, and attractive stone walling with inset lighting creating a superb first impression.
The accommodation is both versatile and well balanced, offering a welcoming entrance via a porch into a characterful sitting room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove. This space flows naturally into a superb open plan kitchen/dining room, beautifully fitted in a sympathetic cottage style and providing an ideal space for modern family living and entertaining. A separate study offers flexibility for those working from home, whilst the useful utility room and cloakroom enhance the practicality of the layout.
To the first floor are three well proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks across the surrounding grounds, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a dressing area and ensuite facilities. A spacious family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
The former lean-to extension has been removed, with planning now granted to extend or reconfigure further, subject to any necessary planning consents.
The property benefits from solar thermal panels, private water and drainage, and a combination of a new central heating system installed in 2025 oil fired heating, and wood burner.
Overall, this is a superb lifestyle opportunity offering a blend of character, space and potential within a highly desirable rural setting. EPC E. Council Tax Band E.

- The property is approached via a privately owned gravelled lane (with a right of way for one neighbouring property and a public footpath leading to Boyton), recently improved and leading to a generous parking area positioned to take advantage of elevated views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. Further parking is available adjacent to the property and within the grounds, providing ample space for multiple vehicles. The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.3 acres with the majority of the land located on the paddock directly opposite the cottage and are a particular feature of the property, offering a wonderful mix of formal gardens and more natural areas. Immediately surrounding the cottage are attractive lawned gardens interspersed with mature shrubs, planting and seating areas, ideal for outdoor enjoyment. A large greenhouse caters perfectly for keen gardeners, alongside a productive vegetable garden with established beds. The grounds also incorporate a wildlife pond, orchard with a variety of fruit trees, and areas of meadow and woodland, creating a diverse and peaceful environment. A range of useful outbuildings further enhance the appeal, including a detached workshop (power, light, water and internet connected) and a former stone barn offering excellent potential for conversion to a home office, studio or ancillary accommodation, subject to the relevant consents. The grounds are bordered in part by a stream, adding to the tranquil setting, and provide an ideal environment for those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle or simply a private countryside retreat.
