A beautifully presented and substantial Georgian Cottage in a wonderfully peaceful country setting.

Located on the edge of the charming hamlet of Croxton, The Cottage is a delightful Georgian home full of character and history, originally three farm workers’ cottages now beautifully combined into a detached residence of just under 2,000 sq ft of versatile living space.

From the welcoming entrance hall, the home opens into a cosy sitting room with an open fire place and dining room with log burning stove, creating inviting spaces for relaxed evenings or entertaining.

At its heart is the impressive kitchen family room, thoughtfully added by the current owners, blending rustic charm with modern living. With underfloor heating, a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, red brick parquet flooring, a central island, blue Aga, and French doors to the garden, it is a true social hub designed for gathering and everyday life.

Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms, each with its own staircase, one with an en-suite and the other served by a separate bathroom, while a third ground floor double bedroom adds flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.

Additional accommodation includes a study, utility room, and a charming walk-in larder. Outside, the gardens extend to approximately ¾ of an acre (STMS), featuring lawns, fruit trees, vegetable beds, a greenhouse, and open countryside views, along with a separate studio and workshop offering potential for conversion (STPP).

Beautifully framed by wisteria, The Cottage is a quintessential English country home, rich in charm and perfectly suited to an idyllic lifestyle.
