A Charming three-bedroom detached thatched cottage with a large garden, situated in a rural hamlet, with stunning views across the countryside.

Location - Crainges Cottage is found at the end of Pump Lane, a single-track, gravelled lane off Five Houses Lane. It sits in a generous plot with attractive gardens on three sides and views across the pastureland and woodland beyond. It is not overlooked and is tucked some distance away from other buildings, a short drive from the village of Calbourne and approximately fifteen minutes from Newport.

History - The cottage dates back to the 17th century and retains many original features of the period. Five Houses itself has a history of small farms and rural settlement and Crainges Cottage is thought to have once been a farm labourer’s dwelling.

Property - Crainges Cottage is a characterful and cosy cottage with everything you would look for in a property of this period: large inglenook fireplaces, both with log burning stoves, thick stone walls to keep in the warmth in the winter and stay cool in the summer, a barrel staircase, wooden casement windows and a thatched porch for added charm. The cottage is well maintained, and the kitchen and bathrooms have all been recently fitted. The boiler is brand new. All three double bedrooms are generous and the flooring is a mixture of wooden boards, terracotta tiles, stone flagstones and some carpeting for comfort. The staircase is wide allowing for easy access to the first floor.
