3 bedroom detached house for sale

Coming to the market for the first time in over 30 years, this much-loved family home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful country cottage with land, nestled in a beautiful rural setting. Full of warmth and original features, the cottage has been a cherished residence for decades and is now ready for a new chapter.

The vendor has advised that all external walls have been fully insulated, helping to enhance comfort and efficiency throughout the seasons.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the kitchen, fitted with base-level units and featuring an oil-fired Aga that not only adds rustic charm but also provides a cosy heat source during the colder months. There’s direct access from here to the garden—perfect for morning coffee or kitchen garden inspiration.

The living room is full of character, with a striking stone fireplace and a feature stove creating a cosy focal point. Light floods in through both front windows and patio doors at the rear, which open out onto the garden and invite the outside in.

Upstairs, the cottage offers two comfortable double bedrooms and a generously sized single, all with charming exposed beams adding to the sense of character and history. The single bedroom also benefits from a walk-in cupboard, which could serve equally well as wardrobe space or a compact study nook. A modern shower room includes an enclosed shower, WC, and basin. The landing features additional storage within the eaves.

The property enjoys a private driveway with a carport and a useful storage cupboard with power connected—ideal for garden tools or outdoor gear. A detached double garage provides excellent additional storage or workspace, and one half includes a gardener’s WC and sink.

The garden itself is a real highlight—generous and well-established, filled with mature shrubs, flower beds, and sweeping views across the surrounding countryside. A gate at the rear of the garden opens into a small paddock, securely enclosed by stock fencing—perfect for those with equestrian or smallholding interests.

Just a short stroll from the cottage lies the land—ring-fenced and predominantly sloping pasture, extending to approximately 3.22 acres. It’s well-equipped with two loose boxes, an adjoining tack room, and a fenced collecting area. With water connected, road frontage, and a flatter area towards the top of the field, it offers fantastic potential for grazing, riding, or small-scale agricultural use.
