Why buy this home?

Set in a picturesque position in the heart of Stanbridge, this beautifully presented three-bedroom Victorian cottage offers charm, character, and a peaceful village lifestyle. Nestled in the shadow of the historic St. John the Baptist Church and enjoying uninterrupted views over the recreational park, the current owners have also made many improvements to the home such as a new roof, a re-fitted kitchen, and an ungraded heating system including traditional style radiators.

Positioned behind a classic white picket gate, the front garden is a private, leafy area framed by mature hedging and established trees — offering a peaceful, near-secluded space to socialise with friends or enjoy a drink of your choice.

A spacious open plan living/dining room welcomes you as you step inside the home from the garden. The living area has a cosy feel to it – exactly what you want from a cottage, yet still with enough room for all the furniture you would require. A striking brick fireplace housing an electric stove creates a stunning focal point in this area and it is complemented by wooden flooring, a traditional-style radiator and tasteful décor, blending period character with contemporary comfort.

The dining area has enough room for a six-seater table providing plenty of room to enjoy meals whether that’s together as a family or when you are hosting friends. There is another fireplace in this area adding yet more character, and space under the stairs provides the perfect storage area for a bookcase or even a desk. An amazing view of the church and its clock is provided from a window at the rear of the dining room.

The beautifully re-fitted kitchen has been designed in keeping with the cottage’s age and character. A classic Butler sink sits beneath a large window looking out to the recreational ground and it is surrounded by sleek quartz work surfaces that provide ample preparation space. There’s room for a range-style oven, and a fridge/freezer and while the fitted dishwasher takes care of everyday chores, you might just find yourself happily washing up while admiring the view from the sink. Plenty of shaker-style units, exposed timber detailing, wood-effect flooring and a charming stable-style door adds to the cottage appeal. A small table could be added in here for morning coffees or quick informal meals.

The downstairs accommodation is completed by an extension added by a previous owner which has created a separate utility area, a downstairs cloakroom, and a versatile additional reception room. Whether you need a dedicated home office, a guest bedroom, or simply a peaceful spot to unwind, this flexible space can be adapted to suit your lifestyle.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom is a lovely double room and has a original fireplace, while bedrooms two and three offer flexibility for children, guests, or further workspace. Bedrooms one and two also have fitted storage.

The fully tiled bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, a WC, and a wash hand basin, completed by both low-level and eye-level storage units for added practicality.

The cottage comes with two parking spaces.
