A beautiful stone cottage dating back to the 1860s, offering three double bedrooms and occupying an exceptional plot with stunning views across Exton Park and Estate to the rear. A rare opportunity within the village.

The property has been updated in recent years while retaining its exposed beams, original fireplaces and feature stonework. Improvements include a high quality fitted kitchen, full redecoration, new timber double glazed casement windows and doors, and an air source heat pump central heating system.

A timber home office garden room sits at the top of the garden, taking in the best views and also looking back towards the cottage.

Believed to have been constructed by stonemasons involved in rebuilding Exton Hall following the nineteenth century fire, the cottage carries genuine provenance.

Tucked away at the lower end of a quiet no through road, the setting is particularly peaceful. To the front is a generous orchard area with apple and plum trees. A gravel driveway to the side provides ample parking. The rear garden rises gently with steps leading through lawn and planted areas to the top of the plot, where it backs directly onto Exton Park Estate land and the home office is positioned.

Accommodation: Sitting room, dining room, fitted kitchen, hallway, shower room, three double bedrooms, outdoor home office.
