DESCRIPTION
Set within generous, mature grounds, this enchanting five-bedroom detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a home rich in heritage and character. Dating back to 1870 and once known as The Gronow Arms, it beautifully combines period charm with versatile family living.
Inside, original features including exposed beams, feature fireplaces, and remnants of a stone spiral staircase create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious kitchen/diner forms the heart of the home, complemented by a cosy dining room with log burner and a welcoming living room centred around an open fireplace. A separate study, utility room, cloakroom, and boot room add to the practicality.
Upstairs are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with ensuite. A further double bedroom offers potential for an additional ensuite, alongside two single bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside, the extensive mature gardens provide a peaceful retreat. There is further potential for an additional dwelling (subject to planning), while a substantial workshop/garage offers scope for conversion.
With ample driveway parking and a setting that balances countryside charm with future opportunity, this is a truly special home offering both lifestyle and potential.
