A FIVE BEDROOM UNLISTED PERIOD VILLAGE HOUSE SET ON A PLOT OF 0.4 OF AN ACRE WITH TWO DETACHED GARAGE COMPLEXES, ONE HAVING CONSENT TO CONVERT TO A SELF-CONTAINED ANNEX

Well Cottage comes to the market for the first time in 60 years and represents a rare opportunity to restore and create a stylish and most versatile family home.

Prominently positioned in the heart of the village with attractive walled frontage the cottage has mature grounds of 0.4 of an acre. Further potential is on offer as planning permission has been passed in June 2024 to convert the coach house into a separate self-contained annex ideal for an extended family scenario or alternatively as a work from home office.

The property is full of character with original fireplaces, exposed beams and brickwork, AGA and natural wood finish cupboards and doors.

The accommodation extends to 3414 sq ft (317 sq m) with over 1300 sq ft (121 sq m) of garaging and additional storage/workshop area.

A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential and lifestyle opportunity on offer at Well Cottage.

THE ACCOMMODATION

Entering the property via the rear, the hall has a cast iron and tiled fireplace with original cupboard to one side and a bookcase. To the right there is a study area with a view over the rear garden and a cloakroom with wash basin and wc. Beyond the hall the family and dining room both face to the front having period fireplaces with open grates and stairs rise to the first floor.
The dining room has an attractive red brick floor, wood panelling and a dresser shelf to one wall. Leading from here the kitchen/breakfast room is triple aspect and is fitted with a range of base and wall units and includes two pantry cupboards, one of which houses the hot water cylinder. A gas fired aga with double oven and hot plate provides cooking facilities along with a four burner gas hob and electric oven. An enamel sink unit and mixer tap are inset into tiled work surfaces with plumbing for a dishwasher under. There is ample space for a breakfast table and sofas which flow into the conservatory with two sets of double doors leading to the garden. A door leads to a utility room which houses a Worcester gas boiler and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Lying to the left of the hall and offering a potential annex facility is the dual aspect sitting room with an open fireplace and hearth. A store room adjoins which has a sink unit and is currently used as a wine room. A small rear hall off the sitting
room leads to a utility or annex kitchen with cupboards and a
sink unit, a walk in pantry and cloakroom with wc.

FIRST FLOOR

All the bedrooms and bathroom radiate off the landing which has two linen cupboards, a walk in laundry room and a door conceals stairs which rise to the second floor.
The main bedroom suite faces to the rear and includes three wardrobes, a dressing room has further wardrobes and a window to the side with an ensuite comprising walk-in shower enclosure, wash basin, wc and heated towel rail.
There are four further bedrooms on this level served by two centrally located bathrooms. Both of these have three-piece suites of bath with shower over, wash hand basin and wc.

SECOND FLOOR

On the second floor two attic rooms provide lots of useful storage space and in the past one has been a child’s play room/bedroom.

THE GROUNDS

The property is approached via an electric 5 bar entrance gate with a boundary wall to the front and garden area which has lawns, borders and assorted shrubs.

A long gravel driveway leads to the house and the two garage/annexes and provides parking for 10-12 vehicles.
The good size garden is laid to lawn and interspersed with assorted mature trees and shaped yew. All the boundaries are walled and fenced.

GARAGE

An extra wide and modern double garage has been attractively styled with arched and multi paned windows and has twin electric up and over doors, power and light plus a ladder to a large boarded loft storage space.

GARAGE/ANNEX

Approximately 40 ft in length a second garage complex comprises a garage with up and over door, workbench area and an attached office room. There are also two further storage barns likely to have been the original stables to the cottage.

Planning consent has been passed to convert this garage complex into a self-contained annex. Plans are available for inspection from Jackson-Stops or on Miltom Keynes District Council planning portal ref 24/00783/hou. Consent was granted on the 3rd June 2024.
