Highlights at a Glance
• Rich History:
Dating back to the mid-1800s, Spergula Cottage once formed part of the Spergula House estate, crafted by renowned architects Beadle, Son & Chancellor. The first resident, Arthur Lucking, was the estate’s gardener, and the home still showcases the period’s charm with its high ceilings, picture rails, and original red brick façade.

The generous lounge-diner is a welcoming heart of the home, featuring original pine flooring, an electric feature fireplace, and abundant natural light from double-glazed bow and side windows.
• Practical Kitchen & Utility:
Fitted with a range of eye- and base-level units, tiled splashbacks, and space for appliances, the kitchen flows seamlessly into a functional utility area with extra worktops and storage.
• Three Characterful Bedrooms:
Each bedroom offers its own unique charm, enhanced by period details such as picture rails and built-in storage.
• Beautifully Landscaped Gardens:
The south-facing grounds are divided into charming spaces:
• East Courtyard: A private, walled area perfect for alfresco dining.
• West Garden: Filled with mature borders, fruit trees, and shrubs.
• Main Lawn: Featuring a potting shed, summer house, and garage/workshop access—ideal for garden lovers.
• Ample Parking & Outbuildings:
Off road parking, a garage/workshop, and a cart lodge canopy for secure vehicle storage.
