A Spacious Family Home Full of Warmth and Character
From the moment you arrive, Free Green Cottages has an inviting and established feel. The house opens through an attractive porch into a generous dining hall and reception space, creating an immediate sense of character and welcome.
Period-style touches, including ornate cast iron fireplaces and exposed elements, sit comfortably alongside a layout designed for practical family living.
The principal lounge is particularly impressive, stretching to around 36 feet in length and offering a superb setting for both entertaining and quieter evenings at home.
A brick chimney breast with wood-burning stove creates a natural focal point, while the dining area to the rear, with its glazed roof and French doors, brings in excellent natural light and strengthens the connection to the gardens beyond.
Elsewhere on the ground floor, the sitting room provides another beautifully balanced reception space, enjoying a dual aspect and opening through to the conservatory. The kitchen-dining room is arranged in an L-shape and fitted with a range of storage units, a double oven, a grill and hob, together with space for essential appliances.
York stone flooring and exposed beamwork enhance the home’s character, while a ground-floor WC adds further practicality. A spacious conservatory completes the accommodation on this level and opens directly onto the rear garden.
Four Bedrooms, Flexible Space and Wonderful Views
The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors and offers a versatility that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. The principal bedroom is especially attractive, complemented by a notably generous en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding clawfoot bath and large walk-in shower.
Bedrooms two and three are both doubles, while the fourth bedroom is an excellent single room, ideal as a child’s room, nursery or study. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
On the second floor, a substantial family room adds more flexibility yet. Filled with natural light from Velux and dormer windows and benefitting from extensive eaves storage, this is a space that could suit a variety of uses, whether as a playroom, media room, studio or additional family living area.
Gardens, Grounds and a Superb Outdoor Setting
One of the home’s defining features is its outside space. Free Green Cottages is set within mature, landscaped gardens and grounds that make the most of its enviable rural position.
To the rear, a large decked terrace provides an excellent place for outdoor dining and entertaining, with lovely views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.
The lawns, planted borders, and various seating areas all contribute to a setting that feels private, established and exceptionally peaceful.
Beyond the main garden, a five-bar gate opens to a paddock, adding another dimension to the property’s appeal. Whether enjoyed as open green space, for equestrian interest, or explored for future lifestyle potential, it enhances the sense of freedom and opportunity that this home offers.
The detached double garage and driveway provide excellent practical support, with additional first-floor storage and potential for alternative use, subject to the relevant consents.
