Tucked away at the end of a no-through lane, this charming period cottage sits in a quarter-acre garden with a tranquil backdrop of old watercress beds and delightful views over the water to the downs. With no passing traffic, the property offers a peaceful retreat. Dating back over 400 years, the cottage has been lovingly maintained and boasts plenty of character and charm. The flexible internal layout provides ample space for modern living, with a spacious sitting room, a library/study, and a dining/garden room perfect for entertaining. The property has four generously sized bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The garden offers potential for redevelopment, and the bothy, which requires some work, has a 106 agreement preventing separation from the main cottage. With its unique history, character, and potential for renovation, this property is a rare find for those seeking a peaceful retreat with plenty of charm.
