About this property

A well presented four-bedroom detached home with landscaped gardens, garage and parking, positioned opposite a substantial period barn with shop and storage buildings offering significant mixed-use or redevelopment potential (subject to planning). An increasingly rare opportunity to secure both a charming family home and an exciting commercial or investment prospect.

Occupying a peaceful rural setting with far-reaching countryside views, this site comprises of an attractive tile hung, double fronted detached cottage, unique elm frame barn and connected outbuildings sitting comfortably on an approx 0.5 acre plot. The cottage offers well balanced accommodation of approx. 1727 sq ft and is presented in good order throughout.

A welcoming entrance hall leads to an impressive 24ft triple-aspect sitting room featuring a charming wood-burning stove, creating a warm and homely focal point. A separate dining room connects conveniently to the kitchen, with nearby utility and cloakroom facilities. A ground floor office provides excellent work-from-home space.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, whilst the remaining three bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create two distinct outdoor areas ideal for relaxing or entertaining, all enjoying the surrounding rural outlook. There is ample parking and an attached, generous single garage.

A key feature of this plot is the rare period, elm-framed barn positioned on the opposite side of the access road, together with former shop, office and storage buildings arranged around a courtyard. Extending to nearly 3,000 sq ft, these buildings present significant scope for mixed-use commercial operation, workshop space or potential residential redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents.
