Occupying a fabulous plot approaching 0.2 acres and enjoying a wonderful position backing directly onto picturesque and unspoilt farmland, this charming and rarely available 2/3 bedroom period cottage offers a unique opportunity to acquire a home rich in character and history.

Built in 1876 by the locally renowned Courtauld family, the property is a fine example of late 19th-century architecture and retains a wealth of original features.

From its classic red-brick elevations with contrasting brick dressings and prominent front-facing gables, to the distinctive octagonal iron glazing bars, the property perfectly encapsulates the charm and craftsmanship of its era.

The versatile accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall providing access to the first floor, leading into a well-appointed living room centred around an attractive cast-iron log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

The solid wood kitchen enjoys a pleasant outlook and provides direct access to the rear garden, while a timber-built sunroom offers an additional space in which to relax and enjoy the garden views.

Completing the ground floor is a further reception room, currently utilised as a third bedroom, providing excellent flexibility for those seeking a home office, dining room, snug or occasional bedroom.

To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, together with a charming heritage-style family bathroom. Outside, the property truly comes into its own.

The beautifully maintained south-facing rear garden provides a wonderful private setting, with a generous brick-built outbuilding offering excellent potential for storage, hobbies or home working.

Beyond the garden, the uninterrupted views across the adjoining farmland create a particularly picturesque and tranquil backdrop.

To the front, a substantial driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by a well-established front garden and integral garage.

A property of considerable charm, character and individuality, this delightful cottage combines period architecture and versatile accommodation with an enviable rural outlook, whilst offering excellent outside space rarely found with properties of this nature.
