Charming 4-Bed Cottage blending historic character with modern comfort. Low-maintenance garden, original features, contemporary fittings, private garden, secret garden and well-appointed kitchen. Ideal for those seeking character, comfort, and true sense of place.
Steeped in history and full of charm, this delightful four-bedroom cottage was once a traditional almshouse and has been thoughtfully upgraded to blend timeless period features with modern-day comfort. Nestled in a tranquil setting, the home boasts a low-maintenance front garden, thoughtfully landscaped and enhanced by a newly built wooden pergola — complete with coloured lighting and external electricity points, creating the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining outdoors.
Inside, the cottage retains much of its original character, with exposed timber beams, PVC leaded double-glazed windows, and other charming period details that reflect its heritage. The generously sized living spaces have been sympathetically modernised, incorporating contemporary fittings and finishes without compromising the building’s authentic charm.
To the rear, a private courtyard garden provides outdoor space and storage, currently housing two garden sheds surrounded by the mellow tones of old brickwork and period detailing.
Uniquely, a bridge from the first floor provides access to a secret rear garden, currently left in a natural state but full of potential. This hidden space offers a rare opportunity to create a landscaped retreat, vegetable garden, or wildflower haven — limited only by imagination.
Each of the four bedrooms offers its own unique charm, with characterful touches and thoughtful design throughout. The Modern bathroom and a well-appointed kitchen provide all the conveniences of 21st-century living while harmonising with the property's traditional aesthetic.
This is a rare opportunity to own a unique home that balances historic integrity with stylish, sensitive renovation — perfect for those seeking character, comfort, and a true sense of place. A truly One Off property.

Natural light filters gently through a PVC leaded window that looks out over the front garden, adding a quaint, traditional touch while illuminating the space. The walls are painted in soothing white and beige hues, harmonizing with the light gray sparkle carpet underfoot, which adds a soft texture and a faint glimmer to the room.

Underfoot, a soft grey carpet stretches the length of the space, grounding the hallway with a subtle, plush texture. Its neutral hue complements the surrounding walls, which are finished in a gently textured plaster and painted in warm, neutral tones.
Adding architectural interest, wooden beam effects run horizontally or vertically along the walls, emulating rustic timber framing. These beams, slightly weathered in appearance, bring in an earthy, tactile contrast to the smooth paint and add a touch of cottage-inspired character to an otherwise contemporary setting.
