A Quintessential Period Home
Stanley House is a delightful country cottage believed to date back to 1750, sympathetically modernised in 1975 to enhance the living space while preserving its unique heritage. Once known locally as “The Bottom Shop,” this charming double-fronted home offers a perfect blend of period detail and practical comfort.

Access is via either the front or side, where a driveway leads to a side entrance into the reception hallway (2.33m x 1.84m), with tiled flooring. From here, a door leads to the downstairs shower room (1.82m x 1.58m), fully tiled with a vanity wash hand basin, low level WC, electric chrome towel rail, and window to side.

The kitchen (4.38m x 3.84m) features Marley tiled flooring, wood-panelled walls, a range of units with solid wood worktops, a farmhouse Belfast sink, brick-built alcove housing a gas cooker, stable doors, internet-controlled electric radiator, and charming beams. From here, access is available to the laundry/utility room (3.46m x 1.21m) with storage units, plumbing for washer/dryer, wall tiling, laminate flooring, and door to the garden.

Living & Reception Spaces
From the kitchen, a wooden latch door leads into the lounge (3.92m x 3.71m), boasting a brick feature fireplace with log burner, solid wood floorboards, beams, wall panelling, and the front door. A wooden step leads into the dining room (3.42m x 3.19m) with beams, wood floors, front window, and four wall lights.

A further reception room/study (3.65m x 2.7m) has a front window, three wall lights, solid flooring, picture light, and a built-in cupboard (2.09m x 1.39m).

Upstairs, the landing (4.22m x 0.75m) features panelling, a side window, and loft access. The family bathroom (1.60m x 1.57m) includes a freestanding bath, shower over, high-level WC, pedestal basin, and part-panelled walls.

Bedroom 3 (2.97m x 3.04m) overlooks the rear and includes built-in wardrobes and airing cupboard. Bedroom 2 (2.68m x 3.60m) faces the front and includes ceiling lighting. Bedroom 4 (3.42m x 2.71m) includes wardrobes, a feature beam, and front window. The impressive master bedroom features vaulted ceilings, front window, two large skylights, character beams, and a feature brick wall into the eaves.

Outdoor Features & Final Notes

Outside, the property continues to impress with a raised patio and gravelled seating area, ideal for entertaining. A charming archway leads to an extensive, well-tended lawn with mature shrubs, trees and flowering borders. There’s also a summer house, log store, and ample off-road parking for at least three vehicles.

This is a rare opportunity to own a historic cottage in a peaceful village setting—a home brimming with soul and character, offering timeless style and modern-day comfort.
