This charming Grade II-listed early 16th-century Cottage is perfectly positioned along a semi-rural lane in the village of Milford.
Low Barbary is a charming Grade II listed property, we believe, dating back to the early 1500’s. Formally a four-bay Hall House which was sub-divided into two separate dwellings in the early 18th Century, occupying a wonderful position along a semi-rural lane not far from the village centre. The property is beautifully decorated, and you now have the advantage of old-world ambiance combined with modern living. A charming drawing room with a wood burner, positioned in a most attractive inglenook fireplace. There is an abundance of weathered oak beams, exposed brick, and a separate dining/ study area, making this a great entertaining space. The kitchen has been carefully fitted to maximise the storage options along with ample preparation surfaces. The first floor is equally impressive, with two generous double bedrooms and a superb bathroom, with a standalone bathtub and separate shower cubicle.
The cottage gardens are simply stunning, with an attractive front garden area and a side gravelled driveway leading to a large parking area behind the cottage. A sunken brick-laid patio area drinks in the sun from the South Easterly aspect. The central lawn area is edged by mature shrubs, herbaceous planting, and mature hedgerows. A detached garage offers excellent options for storage and to the side is a self-contained studio room with cloakroom facilities. Behind the garage is a further garden area that could be a perfect position for a home office, vegetable garden or further planting to suit your interests. Planning permission approved for the extension of the outbuilding to provide additional habitable accommodation. (Ref: WA/2024/01055).
