Introduction - Believed to date back to the late 1700s, this extraordinary period cottage has been a cornerstone of the village for centuries. Having served as individual cottages and local shops throughout its storied past, the property has undergone a comprehensive and sympathetic renovation to an exceptional standard. A standout feature of the interior is the preservation of the original 18th-century ceiling beams, which provide a timeless connection to the home's history. Every modern detail has been considered alongside these character features, from fundamental upgrades including full insulation, a complete re-wire, and a new energy-efficient combi boiler, to luxury finishes such as USB sockets, LED mood lighting, and high-quality flooring.
The interior seamlessly blends historic character with contemporary refinement. The ground floor features a striking split-level lounge anchored by an original log burner set within a meticulously restored brick and stone inglenook fireplace. Further reception space includes a snug with a cast iron open fire, a separate living room with French doors, and a bright conservatory which overlooks the gardens. At the heart of the home is a premium Howdens fitted kitchen equipped with NEFF appliances, supported by a practical utility room and a ground floor shower room.
On the first floor, the landing leads to four bedrooms, all served by a modern family bathroom fitted with an elegant Roca suite.
Occupying a prominent elevated position, the property continues to impress outside. The rear garden is a standout feature, arranged over several levels with an extensive lawn and a dedicated sun terrace. For the practicalities of modern life, there is extensive parking to the rear and a double car port. Unique additions include outdoor power sockets and a bespoke, heated, and waterproof "dog boudoir."
Truly a unique home, viewing is essential to appreciate the craftsmanship on display.
