A charming and characterful four/five-bedroom detached cottage with a large garden, garage, and ample parking, set in the heart of the sought-after village of Bishop Sutton.


About the property:

The Lodge is a beautifully presented detached period cottage, full of charm and history. Offering flexible accommodation with four/five bedrooms, a spacious farmhouse kitchen, generous conservatory, two further reception rooms, and attractive gardens, this home effortlessly combines rustic features with modern comfort.

About the inside:

You’re welcomed straight into the heart of the home – a generous farmhouse kitchen with an Aga, quarry-tiled floor, exposed stone walls, and deep-set window seats. A stable door opens to a large conservatory with a utility area and garden access, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow.

From the kitchen, step into the characterful older part of the cottage, which includes a cosy music room and a large dual-aspect living room. This inviting space features a striking stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and French doors opening onto both the garden and the front courtyard.

Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a stylish en-suite shower room. Back on the ground floor are two additional bedrooms, one currently used as a home office, along with a modern family bathroom.

About the outside:

The Lodge is set back from the road with a generous parking area and a single garage. Stone steps lead to a picturesque front courtyard, framed by climbing roses and a mature cherry tree. A second, more secluded courtyard provides a peaceful, bamboo-enclosed space shaded by a productive fig tree – perfect as a children’s play area or tranquil retreat.

From the conservatory, a Mediterranean style patio leads onto a large, level lawn surrounded by mature trees, including apple and pear. The established vegetable garden boasts raised beds, a variety of soft fruit bushes, and a timber playhouse – ideal for family living and those with green fingers.

This enchanting home offers village life at its best, with flexible living space, beautiful gardens, and a wealth of character throughout. A rare opportunity in a highly desirable location.
