Property Details

A Delightful 3/4-Bedroom Semi-Detached Cottage with Historic Charm and Countryside ViewsThis enchanting semi-detached cottage, originally dating back to around 1750, has been thoughtfully extended and updated over time to create a warm and character-filled residence. Nestled in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property enjoys generous grounds with ample off-road parking, superb views across woodland, and potential for the development of a second dwelling (subject to planning permission).Access to the home is most commonly made through the partially glazed garden door, which leads into the lower ground floor. Here you�ll find a beautifully appointed shaker-style kitchen featuring granite worktops, a traditional butler sink, integrated double oven, electric hob, microwave, and dishwasher. There is space allocated for both an American-style fridge freezer and washing machine.The contemporary wood-effect flooring continues through to a charming dining area complete with an inglenook fireplace housing a back boiler stove, exposed original ceiling beams, and access to a cloakroom/WC.From the dining area, an opening framed by oak beams leads into a cosy, dual-aspect sitting room, which features further exposed beams, built-in storage, and a glazed door opening onto the garden.A panelled staircase rises to a bright and spacious ground floor reception room, enhanced by a cast iron fireplace and natural light from the front aspect. From here, stairs ascend to the first floor, and doors lead to a study or fourth bedroom, a generous double bedroom with far-reaching woodland views, and an adjoining modern shower room. A separate hallway provides further storage with a large built-in cupboard.Upstairs, the first-floor landing gives access to two further double bedrooms�one enjoying a front-facing outlook and the other to the rear, showcasing a striking exposed brick and flint feature wall. A stylish family bathroom with shower over bath and additional hallway storage complete the upper floor.The property, known as Bentleys, benefits from double glazing throughout, including to both front and rear external doors. An oil-fired heating system and a septic tank are installed on site.Externally, the sizeable plot offers scope for further development; a previous planning application (ref:
