Fairview Cottage is a deeply characterful detached home, rich in history and charm, believed to date back to circa 1650 with a later extension added in 1902. Formerly a village tea room, the house has evolved beautifully over time and today offers a rare blend of period integrity and modern comfort, a true turnkey country cottage with warmth, personality and presence.

From the moment you step inside, the house reveals layers of original detail: exposed timber beams, feature fireplaces, solid wooden doors and traditional monkey-tail window latches all contribute to an unmistakable sense of heritage. These elements are balanced effortlessly by a thoughtfully designed modern country kitchen, finished with quartz worktops and underfloor heating, forming a welcoming heart to the home. Two stylish contemporary bathrooms further enhance the feeling of comfort and ease, ensuring the house works just as well day-to-day as it does aesthetically.

The internal layout is delightfully individual, with an unusual yet intuitive flow that gives each space its own character while still feeling connected, a home that rewards exploration and feels instantly lived-in rather than contrived.

The gardens are a particular highlight. Lovingly tended and thoughtfully arranged, they offer a series of attractive spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons, from manicured lawns and established hedging to more private, tucked-away corners ideal for outdoor dining or quiet moments. An original stone well, now capped, sits within the garden as a charming reminder of the property’s past.

Set within the grounds is a particularly pretty summerhouse, currently used as a workshop, offering a wonderful retreat for creative pursuits, home working or hobbies. Alongside this, a detached stone-faced garage has been purpose-built with future adaptability in mind. Constructed with block and cavity walls, roof insulation and full services already in place, it offers excellent potential for an annexe, guest accommodation or studio space, subject to any necessary consents.

Fairview Cottage is a home with genuine soul, where centuries of history meet modern country living, and where both house and garden feel established, comforting and entirely ready to enjoy.
