The Property:
This charming stone-built cottage, nestled in the heart of Frogmore, is full of character and potential. Accessed via a few steps, the property opens with a distinctive stained glass-fronted porch – a standout feature that sets the tone for the rest of the home. A practical entrance area provides space for coats and boots before leading into the main living accommodation.
The generous lounge is bathed in natural light from a front-facing window and features a working fireplace, ideal for cosy evenings. Original beams flow seamlessly from the lounge into the adjoining dining area, which comfortably accommodates a dining table. This room also houses the oil-fired Rayburn, which currently heats the upstairs radiators, though additional radiators would be required for the ground floor if required.
The kitchen offers ample storage, an integrated fridge and freezer, space and plumbing for a washing machine, and a window overlooking the small rear courtyard. While functional, the kitchen would benefit from modernisation. A convenient downstairs WC completes the ground floor along with a door leading to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom boasts a beautiful feature stone wall, built-in cupboard, and a window offering glimpses of the nearby estuary. The second bedroom is a well-proportioned double, leading through to a third single bedroom currently used as a study. Reconfiguring this layout—by partitioning the second bedroom—would allow for a more private third bedroom or home office space.
To the rear, a pathway leads to a delightful "secret" garden, a true hidden gem. This private space is laid to lawn with mature shrubs, a summer house, a shed, and lovely countryside views. Additionally, there is a small attached outbuilding, ideal for log storage.
While the property requires updating and does have some areas of damp which we would recommend are surveyed, it offers enormous potential for someone looking to create a bespoke home in a picturesque village setting. Solar panels, installed approximately four years ago, add to the home's long-term efficiency.
A unique opportunity to transform a charming period cottage into something truly special.
