A Smallholder’s Paradise – Charming 1850s Railway Cottage with Approx. 1/3 Acre Gardens and 1 Acre Field, Productive Grounds & Idyllic Setting

Tucked away in a wonderfully peaceful setting and full of character, this charming two bedroom railway cottage dating back to the 1850s offers a rare opportunity to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle, surrounded by nature and space. Set within approximately 1+1/3 acres of productive grounds (including gardens and field), the property is truly a smallholder’s dream and a unique find that must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Originally built as a railway worker’s cottage, the home retains an abundance of period charm while offering a warm and practical living environment. Inside, the cottage provides a well-arranged layout with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and generous storage throughout, making it both comfortable and practical.

The kitchen features a Stanley Range, creating a warm and inviting heart to the home and perfectly complementing the cottage’s character. The main lounge offers a wonderfully cosy atmosphere with a multi-fuel stove, which not only serves as a charming focal point but also powers the radiators and hot water system. While the property also benefits from oil heating, the stove provides an efficient and characterful alternative, reflected in the impressive dedicated log storage area outside, ensuring you are always well stocked for the colder months.
Adding further versatility to the living space is a delightful wood framed sun room, filled with natural light and complete with its own log burner.

Outside is where this property truly comes into its own. The generous grounds, comprising approximately 1/3 acre of gardens and a separate 1 acre field (formerly used for goats and poultry), have been thoughtfully arranged for those seeking a self-sufficient or semi-rural lifestyle.

There are polytunnels for year-round growing, a greenhouse, potting shed, and a variety of useful outbuildings including a garage and a highly versatile detached room complete with its own log burner. This flexible space would be ideal for those working from home, running a hobby business, pursuing creative projects, or, as currently used, storing the fruits of a thriving home-preserving operation.
