Bicker, Boston

ROSE COTTAGE- A SLICE OF HISTORIC CHARM

Step into another era with this enchanting detached cottage, believed to date back to the 1700s. Nestled in the conservation area of Bicker village, this chocolate-box property perfectly embodies traditional English village living.

This three-bedroom home radiates warmth and tranquility throughout. The ground floor offers a welcoming layout featuring a comfortable lounge, snug, and a bespoke hand-crafted kitchen-diner, while the family bathroom completes the downstairs accommodation. Original features including exposed beams add authentic charm, while quirky touches make this house truly unique. This home is not perfect - it is old (think a few wrinkles and some rough edges that we get as we age), but there is truly something about it which pulls at your heart strings! There are protected trees, some quirky steps, some lower doors (but decent head hight generally in the rooms themselves), yet it all comes together as a home with history and soul.

The cottage garden, while in need of some tender loving care, holds immense potential to become a quintessential English country garden. With its established cottage-style layout and traditional planting spaces, it offers the perfect canvas for green-fingered enthusiasts to create their own secret garden paradise. The romantic, informal nature of the space perfectly complements the character of this historic home.

Perfectly positioned near the historic Ye Olde Red Lion pub (dating from 1665), Rose Cottage sits in the heart of this well-served village. Bicker offers excellent amenities including:

A village Post Office/shop
Historic Church of England church
Methodist chapel
Preparatory school
The renowned Ye Olde Red Lion pub, a beautifully preserved establishment.

This rare opportunity offers not just a home, but a lifestyle - where historic charm meets modern comfort in a thriving village community. Rose Cottage provides that coveted sense of security and relaxation that only a true home can deliver.
