MOST CHARMING MID 18TH CENTURY COTTAGE STANDING IN THE CONSERVATION AREA OF THIS POPULAR VILLAGE WITH BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPED GARDENS AND OFF ROAD PARKING WITH GARAGE

Hotch Potch Cottage is a charming period residence, steeped in history from the mid-18th century. Constructed predominantly of locally sourced stone beneath a traditional slate roof, the cottage has been meticulously preserved, retaining an abundance of period features while offering the owners a home of true character.

Upon arrival, the entrance porch leads into the impressive dining room, where a striking cast iron fireplace with a gas coal-effect insert, framed by a timber surround, commands attention. A large picture window affords captivating views over the manicured front gardens, filling the space with an abundance of natural light. From here, the reception flows effortlessly into the beautifully appointed sitting room. This room boasts dual-aspect leaded windows overlooking the picturesque grounds and features a brick fireplace with an open hearth, accompanied by exposed ceiling timbers, adding a sense of warmth and relaxation. The kitchen, unusually spacious for a property of this period, is fitted with an array of bespoke timber cabinetry complemented by elegant work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances. Access from the kitchen leads to a rear hallway, which opens onto the private rear garden, providing an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. A discreet staircase descends from the dining room to the cellar, currently serving as a useful storage area, though it presents exciting potential for further development.

Ascending to the first floor, the landing provides access to two generously proportioned double bedrooms, one benefits from fitted wardrobes, offering ample storage. The luxurious four-piece bathroom features a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate corner shower and there is also a separate cloakroom.

A further staircase rises to the second floor, revealing an additional expansive double bedroom, bathed in natural light, making this a tranquil and private space for guests or family.

OUTSIDE

The property is set back from the road by stone walling the front gardens being beautifully landscaped with a range of flower and shrub borders, including maturing roses with access to the side into the rear gardens which are split level and laid predominately to lawn again with various flower and shrub borders with brick walling giving a sense of privacy and seclusion. There are good sized patio areas to enjoy the sunshine and of particular interest is the single garage and additional off-road parking to the side.
