Property description

A Grade II listed 18th-century detached cottage in a conservation area in the rural hamlet of Sedrup, set in an established cottage garden with countryside views from front and rear and positioned at the end of a no-through road, with a garage, carport, and driveway parking for three cars.

The property is a double-fronted period home constructed of brick and wychert under a clay tiled roof, offering approximately 1,494 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over three floors, combining retained original features with modern comfort. The ground floor has three versatile reception areas - a sitting room, a dining room and snug - all with character features. The kitchen, refitted in 2022, has ample space for a breakfast table and direct access to a separate utility room. Upstairs, the first floor comprises two bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the second floor has two further double bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings exemplifying the original architecture. Outside, the mature landscaped cottage garden complements the building. At the rear is a patio area for outdoor dining, while a second circular patio at the far end of the garden has a log burner, for entertaining and enjoying year-round sunset views across the open fields.

Accommodation

The main reception rooms are divided by an open oak staircase, framed by full-height exposed beams. The sitting area has a Clearview log burner set in a traditional fireplace, while the dining has an open fireplace housing a grate with a canopy. The bespoke 2022 kitchen, has hand-painted wooden base and wall units, with oak worktops and a centrepiece Everhot range cooker. High-specification fittings include an integrated Miele dishwasher, a Shaws ceramic sink, and Perrin & Rowe mixer taps. Windows overlook the rear garden and farmland beyond. Natural stone flooring flows into the utility room and snug, which has a door to the rear patio.

Outside

A wooden gate accesses to rear garden, with a full-width patio adjacent to the house. The landscaped cottage garden has mature borders, raised beds, and a central lawn encircled by gravel pathways. These lead to a second, circular patio at the end of the garden, which has an outdoor log burner, ideally positioned to take in the views throughout the year.
