Nestled on the ever-popular Manygate Lane, this unique three-bedroom character arts and crafts style property is more than just a beautiful home — it's a piece of architectural history. Built as a replica of the 1923 Ideal Home Show property, along with its neighbouring house, it offers the rare charm of period design with all the comforts of modern living.

From the moment you arrive, there’s an undeniable sense of welcome. The characterful porch leads into a warm, light-filled hallway where you'll find discreet storage for coats and a guest WC tucked neatly away. Throughout the ground floor, the stunning herringbone-style flooring, made from Christmas tree wood, adds a touch of timeless craftsmanship and warmth.

The heart of the home is a stylish, open-plan kitchen and dining area that effortlessly wraps around into a second sitting space — thoughtfully divided by a contemporary gas fireplace, seamlessly built into the wall. This entire space is flooded with light, thanks to French doors that open out to the south-west facing garden, ideal for Al-fresco dining and family life.

A second, separate living room offers a cosy retreat, complete with a traditional brick fireplace and direct garden access. The garden itself is wonderfully private, with lawn and paved areas, mature planting, and multiple sheds for storage or hobbies.

Also on the ground floor is a garage and a workshop — both incredibly useful spaces which have previously been granted permission to extend and transform into additional living space. This would be incredibly useful if you required an additional ground floor bedroom or annex, study, or teenager den!

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three generously sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. The master bedroom benefits from ample built-in storage, which offers scope to convert into an ensuite if desired.

Previous permissions have also been granted for a double-storey extension, which would allow for a fourth bedroom and an additional bathroom to the first floor, giving you even more flexibility for the future. Please refer to the additional floorplan we have created for you to demonstrate this onward potential and what was previously agreed.

This home is that rare find — a beautifully updated home that still holds onto its period soul, offering both instant comfort and exciting scope for future growth. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a place to grow into, or a home with room to dream, this cottage offers it all.

What does the current owner love?
