Offered to the market with no onward chain. Lavinia Cottage is a charming detached three-bedroom home brimming with period character and thoughtful upgrades. Believed to date from around 1810, the property is traditionally constructed in chalk cob on a flint base—with local lore suggesting some of the flint may have come from the nearby castle! Over recent years the current owner has undertaken improvements that respect the building’s fabric while enhancing day-to-day comfort. The exterior has been finished in lime render so the cob can breathe, and the insulation has been upgraded with natural sheep’s wool. Both chimneys have been re-lined, and wood-burning stoves now serve the dining room and living room, providing a welcoming focal point during the cooler months. An oil-fired boiler was installed in 2019, supporting reliable heating and hot water. Together, these works bring the cottage in line with modern expectations while retaining its heritage. Inside, the accommodation is arranged for practical living with an easy flow between rooms. A central hall leads to two comfortable reception rooms that lend themselves to a range of uses.  The kitchen/dining room provides the hub of the home, with space for a family table and good storage and preparation areas, and  a separate utility room. A ground-floor bathroom completes the layout on this level. Upstairs, three bedrooms are served by a delightful shower room.  Outside, the property is approached via driveway parking with gated access to the rear. The mature garden is a lovely feature, arranged with an area of patio for seating and a lawn, with established borders.  There is ample space to position outdoor furniture and create zones for dining and entertaining. Lavinia Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic home with genuine character and sympathetic modernisation. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the space, setting and charm on offer.
