Welcome to Tumbledown Cottage...
If you dream of enjoying a semi-rural lifestyle in a picturesque and private setting, whilst still having the convenience of city life and everyday amenities within easy reach, Tumbledown Cottage could be just the home you have been waiting for.
Dating back to the 1700s, this charming and characterful property is steeped in history and offers an impressive excess of 2,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation. Set within a generous plot, the cottage is complemented by a collection of traditional stone-built outbuildings and beautifully established gardens, thoughtfully divided into distinct areas.
Inside, the property is brimming with period charm and original features, including impressive inglenook fireplaces, exposed ceiling beams, and attractive terracotta and flagstone flooring throughout the principal ground floor rooms. The flexible layout offers a wealth of possibilities to suit a variety of lifestyles and comprises a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a cosy lounge with an inglenook fireplace, a separate dining room featuring a log-burning stove, a good-sized home office/study and an additional generously proportioned reception room, also boasting an inglenook fireplace. This particularly versatile space benefits from a fitted Butler sink and plumbing, making it ideal as an art or pottery studio, a generous utility or laundry room, or perhaps something entirely different to suit your needs. A cloakroom and useful pantry-style room complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor offers an interesting and flexible arrangement, with the accommodation divided into two distinct wings, each accessed via its own staircase. The first comprises a landing with a useful storage cupboard, two double bedrooms, a single bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a three-piece family bathroom.
The second wing offers a spacious dressing area, a principal double bedroom and a further single bedroom, which could potentially be reconfigured to create an additional family bathroom, subject to the necessary requirements.
Outside, Tumbledown Cottage continues to impress. To the front, a delightful southerly-facing garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with established shrubbery and hedging providing an attractive natural border. There is also a separate outbuilding, while the garden enjoys an open outlook across the neighbouring 8.33-acre field, locally known as Georgie Bucks Field.
To the rear, a generous garden offers further space to relax, entertain and enjoy the outdoors, with areas of lawn complemented by established flower and shrub borders. The remainder is laid to hardstanding, providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles. Additional benefits include a detached garage extending to approximately 146 sq ft, a substantial outbuilding complete with inspection pit and two further smaller outbuildings, offering an abundance of storage, workshop or hobby space.
Tumbledown Cottage is a truly individual home, combining centuries of history and character with generous accommodation, exciting versatility and a wonderful semi-rural setting. A property with plenty of scope to make your own, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of country living without compromising on convenience.
