Beautifully Renovated Cottage in Wattlefield with Two-Acre Meadow (STMS)

Guide Price £800,000 to £850,000. Rags Folgate is a truly impressive Grade II listed country cottage that has been sympathetically renovated and updated to a high standard. Inside, you’ll find an abundance of character, from the exposed timbers to the natural light which floods in through the bespoke, newly fitted timber-framed windows – all of which are double glazed. The timber doors throughout the property are also newly installed, adding to the overall quality and charm.

The sitting room is wonderfully cosy, with a brick fireplace and wood-burning stove as its centrepiece. At the heart of the home is the bespoke, well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room. There’s ample workspace and storage, as well as plenty of room for a dining table, making the space incredibly sociable. Beyond this lies an attractive snug, where the current owners have enjoyed many a film night.

In addition, there is a reconfigured boot room/back hall and a separate modern cloakroom. Two staircases lead to the first floor - one serving a charming guest bedroom with a modern en-suite, and the second leading to the principal bedroom, complete with dressing room and its own stylish en-suite. A third bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite cloakroom.

Outside, the grounds are enchanting. Garaging and workshops provide excellent space for hobbies, while a separate outbuilding houses the utility area and also serves well as a studio or small gym.

The gardens have been beautifully landscaped with established native planting and a well-appointed terrace - ideal for entertaining. Pass through a garden gate and you discover the wildlife pond and wonderful meadow beyond. At two acres (stms), this spot offers meandering pathways, wild-flowers, and a small copse making this a truly magical area for family gatherings, or simply a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
