Farcroft Cottage is an immaculately presented three-double-bedroom character home, originally dating back to 1835 and substantially extended over time to create a wonderfully spacious and light-filled family residence. Lovingly cared for by the current owners and beautifully styled with warm neutral decor and complementary carpets, this exceptional cottage is situated in the sought-after village of Blakedown—within walking distance of local amenities, reputable schools, green spaces, and train links, ideal for those seeking a semi-rural lifestyle. The property is offered with the distinct advantage of no upward chain.

Inside, the accommodation flow comprises: a welcoming entrance hall leading into an expansive, highly versatile 8.5m main lounge featuring a cozy fireplace with gas fire, stairs rising to the first floor, and a hidden trapdoor revealing a generous cellar that extends under the front aspect—ideal as a wine store or hobby room. An inner lobby with patio access leads into a large, sympathetically styled kitchen equipped with an integrated oven, gas hob, dishwasher, and space for freestanding appliances, opening into a light-filled extended dining room with French doors overlooking the grounds. Across a brick-paved courtyard, a covered through-way gives access to a dedicated utility room, a modern ground-floor shower room (perfect for dog walkers and muddy boots), and a garage featuring a motorised door. Upstairs, a central landing connects three genuine double bedrooms and a modern principal house bathroom.

Externally, the property benefits from: a front driveway providing off-street parking and an impressive rear garden featuring a brick-paved patio and extensive central lawn, leading down to a contemporary detached outbuilding ideal as a home office, den, summer house, or garden bar.
