Tucked away at the top of a quiet lane, in the heart of the picturesque village of Crawley, Cotswold Cottage offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and contemporary comfort. Thought to date back to the late 1700s, this delightful stone-built cottage has been lovingly updated by the current owners, while retaining its original character and rustic appeal.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by the inviting living room, complete with an open fireplace and a window seat offering stunning views over the surrounding fields. The original beams add warmth and charm, while modern spotlights provide a fresh and stylish touch. The entire property has been refurbished over the years, and the new staircase ensures a seamless flow between the ground and first floor spaces.
The kitchen, beautifully finished and reconfigured in 2016, boasts solid Oak worktops, a gas range-style oven, and an integrated dishwasher. The window to the front of the cottage provides further panoramic views beyond a stone wall, while a separate utility/laundry room equipped with plumbing for a washing machine occupies the rear of the home.
The recently refurbished bathroom is well presented and of a good size, featuring underfloor heating, a walk-in rainfall shower, and a heated towel rail.
The lean-to storage area offers additional space, and external access - as well as scope for future extension (subject to planning permission).
Upstairs, the two double bedrooms are bathed in natural light, with both offering views across the open fields. Bedroom 1 features a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, creating a serene and spacious atmosphere, while Bedroom 2 is also a double room and showcases attractive panelling and panoramic views.
Externally, an attractive stone staircase leads you to the courtyard garden. Raised above ground level, but extremely private, the garden is a sun trap in the summer and offers a peaceful space to relax and entertain.
The property has benefitted from a range of updates, offering modern utilities such as mains gas, and drainage, and the whole property has been rewired including a new fuse board - providing peace of mind. A separate garage provides parking and/or useful storage, and there is potential to carry out a large ground floor and first floor extension to the rear of the property if desired.
A unique opportunity to own a piece of history with all the conveniences of modern living, Cotswold Cottage is an idyllic country retreat in the charming village of Crawley.
