Grade II listed cottage in rural hamlet setting.

Description

2 Barrack Yard Cottages is a charming three-bedroom end terrace cottage, Grade II listed and set within a picturesque rural hamlet. Steeped in character and history, the property is believed to date back to the early 1500s and offers well-arranged accommodation across three floors. Set within grounds of approximately one-fifth of an acre, it provides an ideal country retreat for those seeking a peaceful escape.
The accommodation comprises a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with shaker-style units, an integrated oven, hob and extractor, and complemented by attractive tiled flooring. The sitting room is rich in character, featuring exposed timbers and beams, alongside an impressive fireplace with a wood-burning stove set upon a tiled hearth. A ground floor bathroom serves the property, fitted with both a bath and a separate shower.

To the first floor are two bedrooms and a cloakroom, while the second floor provides a spacious principal suite with en suite bathroom facilities. Characterful features, including exposed beams, are evident throughout, and the layout is well suited to both couples and families alike.

Planning permission has been granted for a full height extension and the construction of a three bay cart lodge (please refer to the planning portal for further details), presenting an excellent opportunity for enhancement.

The property is approached via a gated driveway, providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The grounds, extending to approximately one fifth of an acre, are predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. A useful, screened area accommodates several sheds, along with a workshop with electrical supply suitable for EV charging, offering practical external storage. Two further sheds have an electrical supply in place also. An external cupboard houses the oil fired boiler and oil tank.
