A CHARMING PERIOD STONE COTTAGE WITH DETACHED ANNEXE, GENEROUS GARDENS AND VIEWS OF THE CHURCH IN A PEACEFUL VILLAGE SETTING.

Tucked away in a quiet and sought-after position in Halford, Mill Cottage is a handsome semi-detached period stone cottage occupying a generous plot with charming gardens and views of the village church. Enhanced by a detached one-bedroom annexe ("Goose Lodge"), this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of character and flexibility in an idyllic setting.
The cottage opens into a welcoming dining hall, full of period charm, with exposed timber floorboards and a deep window seat that overlooks the front garden. From here, you enter a snug featuring traditional quarry tiled flooring and a wood-burning stove – a cosy space perfect for relaxed evenings.
The sitting room is triple aspect, offering a light-filled and comfortable living space, complete with an open fire and French doors that lead directly onto a stone-paved garden terrace, ideal for entertaining or enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The bespoke kitchen, crafted by Mark Wilkinson, is finished in solid oak with granite worktops and exudes quality throughout. It includes a Falcon range cooker, dual butler sinks, a double-drawer dishwasher, breakfast bar and a large larder cupboard. Dual-aspect windows allow plenty of natural light and provide a lovely outlook over the garden.
A separate boot room and utility area offers excellent practical space, with plumbing for laundry appliances, and links conveniently to a ground floor shower room.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with garden views and features an elegant stone fireplace. There are two further double bedrooms, both offering lovely views of the church; one also has a charming period fireplace. The main bathroom features oak flooring and a heated towel rail, complemented by a separate shower room with Velux window and matching oak floors.

Positioned within the grounds, Goose Lodge is a beautiful Oak framed building. This single-storey building includes an open-plan kitchen and living area, a double bedroom, and a modern bathroom, offering an ideal solution for guests, dependent relatives, or as an income-generating holiday let.

The gardens are a key feature of the property, beautifully landscaped with well-tended lawns, mature shrubs and trees, and a vegetable patch, creating a delightful and productive outdoor environment. A gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking, while a paved terrace adjoining the rear of the cottage offers an inviting space for al fresco dining. A charming summerhouse nestles within the garden, offering a perfect retreat, and the generous plot ensures excellent privacy with a wonderful sense of space and seclusion. There is a further enclosed garden with potential beyond Goose Lodge.
