An exquisite Grade II listed cottage of immense character, occupying a frontline position in the heart of the highly coveted village of Shackleford.
Steeped in history and believed to date back to the early 17th century, this quintessentially English home offers a rare blend of period integrity and timeless appeal. Upon crossing the threshold, you are immediately greeted by a magnificent sitting room that serves as the heart of the home. This expansive living space is defined by its wealth of exposed timber beams and a commanding inglenook fireplace that provides a stunning focal point. The clever layout allows for effortless versatility, with ample proportions to accommodate a dedicated study or a secondary snug area.
The rear of the property transitions into the social hub of the home, featuring a formal dining room and a kitchen designed to take full advantage of the views across the private grounds. The ground floor is completed by a practical guest cloakroom and access to a basement level, providing valuable additional storage or utility potential.
The first floor continues to impress with three well-appointed bedrooms and a central family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a generous double with a fitted wardrobe and significant scope for further bespoke cabinetry. The second bedroom also offers comfortable double proportions with a built-in wardrobe, while the third bedroom is a well-utilised single, also benefiting from integrated storage.
Externally, the property is situated within a fantastic plot that borders open, rolling countryside. The mature rear garden is a true sanctuary, featuring a variety of established trees and shrubs that provide a high degree of seclusion. A patio area situated directly off the rear of the house offers the perfect space for alfresco dining while enjoying the views over the neighbouring fields.
To the front and side, the property benefits from a double garage and a driveway providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles, while a further storage shed is tucked away at the foot of the garden. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a significant piece of local history in one of the area’s most prestigious village settings.
