DESCRIPTION
Rossiters, together with Orchard Cottage present a most unique restoration opportunity to create an idyllic and charming home with income potential within the highly sought after village of Halstock. Steeped in character and located alongside a peaceful country lane, the property has an abundance of original features laced throughout the main home and its detached cottage alike. Both now requiring modernisation and offering enormous potential.
The cottages reside in a generous plot with gardens and orchard of just over 0.50 acres with unspoilt views across neighbouring farmland . A gated entrance and gravelled driveway lead to ample parking to the side and rear of the properties.

Rossiters, believed to date back to 18th Centuary, has undeniable cottage charm with its brick and stone elevations set under a thatched roof. Upon entering the property, the first reception room showcases a inglenook fireplace (with Rayburn currently fitted), exposed timbers and most striking wooden panelling. Beyond this room is the kitchen with wooden painted cupboards, clay tiled worktops and continuation of the exposed beams and timbers. A utility area and downstairs loo are located to the rear of the Kitchen. A wooden door leads out to the rear garden and Orchard.

The well-proportioned sitting room once again features a traditional inglenook fireplace with fitted wood burning stove. Two East facing windows offer an abundance of morning sunlight and a third Westerly facing window ensures the room to be naturally well lit. Adjacent to the sitting room and to complete the ground floor is a wonderful study with vaulted ceiling, exposed stone wall and which leads to a downstairs shower room.

There are three bedrooms to the first floor along with a family bathroom. The first floor space once again is packed full with feature timbers and raw charm.

A standout feature to this property is its very own detached ‘Orchard Cottage’. A former Cart Shed registered as a residential dwelling in its own right, this stunning cottage has immediate income potential through letting or could well be used as a magnificent work-from-home space or studio. With its vaulted ceilings, original beams and charming external façade, Orchard Cottage is an undeniable gem.
The living space is simply made up with an open plan living area with small kitchenette over-looking the rear garden. A double bedroom and large bathroom with freestanding bath complete the ground floor space with a mezzanine floor above which provides a wonderful viewpoint over the living space below.

A rare opportunity to acquire a quintessential cottage, with a ready-made property to let in a peaceful yet well-connected location, offered for sale with vacant possession and no forward chain.

OUTSIDE
Externally the property has much to offer with grounds extending to approx. 0.75 acres, including the Orchard which offers purchasers an opportunity to either extend the gardens or create a smallholding space. The main garden is laid to lawn and outlined by well-established hedgerows. A gravel driveway and parking area provides parking for a number of vehicles.
The agents wish to make it known that there is currently no fixed boundary between Rossiters and the adjoining Church Cottage to separate the rear gardens. A temporary fence is in place to outline the boundary but purchasers will be expected to erect their own fence, at their expense. A fence can be installed prior to sale via negotiation with the vendors, if required.
