Description

Offered to the market after more than 50 years in the same family, this substantial recently rethatched period cottage offers approximately 2,629 sq ft of wonderfully flexible accommodation, mature private gardens, garage and parking in a peaceful rural setting.

Offering considerable character and excellent scope for sympathetic updating, Hedges is offered with no onward chain.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the generous proportions, flexible accommodation and delightful setting on offer.

The spacious main living room is centred around a locally produced Minsterstone fireplace, with a bay window overlooking the rear garden and direct access to the conservatory. A separate dining room is rich in period character, with a impressive stone open fireplace, exposed beams, tiled flooring and a bay window overlooking the garden.

The bespoke fitted kitchen has a wonderfully individual layout and is fitted with a selection of wall, base and display units. Dual-aspect windows allow plenty of natural light into the room. It connects directly to a versatile third reception room, suitable for use as a study, family room or additional sitting room, and also provides access towards the adjoining garage.

A particularly useful feature is the substantial ground-floor bedroom, complete with en-suite wet room and direct access to the conservatory – ideal for guests, multi-generational living or as an alternative principal suite. A family bathroom and separate utility room complete the ground-floor accommodation.

The cottage's individual character continues on the first floor. Bedroom two is a good-sized dual aspect room with fitted storage. The adjoining dressing room leads through to a particularly spacious principal bedroom with exposed beams, fitted storage, feature fireplace and en-suite bathroom.

Outside, the property is complemented by an established westerly-facing rear garden, offering a good degree of privacy and surrounded by mature trees and planting. A patio adjoining the cottage provides an ideal space for outdoor seating and entertaining, while the garden continues towards a driveway positioned at the far end, providing off-street parking. A wooden gate gives access onto the adjoining lane.

Combining a peaceful rural setting with substantial and highly flexible accommodation, this recently rethatched period cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character and charm, with excellent potential for sympathetic updating. Offered with no onward chain, an internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate everything this unique property has to offer.
