Wilkins Estate Agents are delighted to present this enchanting four-bedroom detached cottage to market — a rare opportunity to step into a world where the ordinary dissolves into the extraordinary.

Behind its weathered stone façade, original features whisper stories of the past — from hand-carved beams overhead to the flicker of light dancing through stained glass windows, casting colours and secrets across the walls. This is a home steeped in quiet elegance, where every room unfolds like a chapter in a forgotten tale.

The layout is charmingly unconventional, with two staircases adding a sense of intrigue and flow. The art deco bathrooms — preserved in gleaming porcelain and chrome — offer a glamorous nod to a bygone era, showcasing a unique blend of nostalgia and sophistication.

At the heart of the home, a newly installed kitchen and orangery strike a harmonious balance between character and contemporary convenience with both having underfloor heating. Light-filled and spacious, this area opens directly into the garden, creating a perfect space for entertaining or quiet reflection. A 250-foot garden stretches beyond, beautifully landscaped and shaped by the seasons — wild and blooming in spring, golden and whispering in autumn.

Importantly, only 20% of the property’s total build potential has been utilised, leaving substantial scope for expansion. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, there is clear potential for a two-storey extension on the main house, giving future owners the opportunity to shape the space to meet their needs. The property also benefits from a generous cellar, offering additional storage or development potential.

Beyond the main residence lies The Hobbit is nestled into the landscape with storybook charm. With its curved doorway, low eaves, and secluded setting, it feels more like a whimsical retreat than a typical annex. The Hobbit also has the opportunity to be rented out separately.

Practicality meets magic with gated parking for up to five vehicles at the rear, ensuring privacy and convenience. Just beyond, a tranquil canal glides silently along the edge of the property, mirroring the sky and adding to the serene, almost otherworldly atmosphere.

This is more than just a home — it is a portal. A place where the past and present converge, and where every creaking floorboard, sun-dappled pane, and rustling leaf seems to echo a story waiting to be lived.
