About this property

This cottage is on a 2000 year lease and still has over 1810 years to run so although it is technically a leasehold property, according to a solicitor and surveyor it realistically comes under the category of a ‘Virtual Freehold’ and should be considered as such.

The cottage has been in the family for a very long time, and we moved here some 25 years ago. When we came here it needed updating and refurbishing and over the years we have created the accommodation on the second floor, built the office and other outbuildings, underpinned the property, renewed the plumbing and electrics as well as updating the kitchen and bathrooms. We also have the planning permissions arranged for a garden room as well as for porches on the front and back doors.
