The kitchen forms the true heart of the home, beautifully appointed and fitted with handcrafted painted wooden cabinetry, a range cooker and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. Designed for both family life and entertaining.
The sitting room is rich in character and charm, centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. Whether enjoying quiet evenings by the fire or welcoming guests, this elegant room offers an intimate and relaxing retreat.
A particularly appealing feature of the property is the sympathetic extension. Here, a striking vaulted study creates an inspiring home office, while a practical utility room and stylish shower room enhance everyday convenience. Completing this part of the cottage is a small versatile room, formerly the garage and now arranged as a home gym.
To the rear of the property, a delightful conservatory with exposed stone walls provides an elegant extension of the living space and is perfectly positioned for both relaxed family dining and entertaining throughout the seasons. Bathed in natural light, it enjoys uninterrupted views of the adjoining orchard/ fields behind the cottage, creating a wonderful sense of peace and connection with the surrounding countryside.

A spiral staircase rises to the second floor, where two substantial loft rooms provide exceptional flexibility. Currently arranged as a bedroom/ study, and a separate storage room, these versatile spaces could readily serve as additional bedrooms, making them ideal for visiting guests, independent teenagers, creative studios or home working. Their generous proportions offer exciting possibilities to suit a variety of lifestyles.
Completing the accommodation is a beautifully appointed family bathroom, thoughtfully designed with a freestanding bath, wash basin and WC, providing a luxurious space in which to unwind. A separate cloakroom with WC adds further convenience for family living and guests alike.
A Little History
Grove Cottage was originally part of Grove Farm Cottages and dates back to its agricultural roots, with sections once used as animal barns, sheds and a wash house complete with its own well. Over the years, successive owners have sympathetically transformed the property into the charming family home it is today, while preserving many original features, including the beautiful parquet flooring and evidence of its historic layout. The attic was converted in the early 1990s to create additional living space, while the former wash house became the present study, where the original well remains a unique feature. Since 2011, the current owners have lovingly restored and enhanced the cottage, creating the stunning gardens, a secret garden and lily pond.
Outside
The gardens are a particular delight and have been lovingly created to provide colour, interest and enjoyment throughout the seasons. During the summer months they become a spectacular display, with an abundance of flowering plants, mature shrubs and carefully chosen perennials creating a rich tapestry of colour and fragrance.
Designed as a series of enchanting outdoor areas, the gardens offer secluded seating areas, thoughtfully positioned to capture the sun at different times of the day. Whether enjoying a leisurely breakfast, afternoon tea or an evening glass of wine, each spot provides its own unique perspective of this idyllic setting.
Adding both charm and character is an attractive folly, in what was formerly a pig sty, while a picturesque pond, adorned with water lilies, creates a tranquil focal point that attracts birds and other wildlife. The gardens extend to the front and side of the property, with a lawn to the front framed by well-stocked borders that enhance the cottage's timeless appeal.
A cobbled driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles and an integral garage is fitted with an electric door.
Altogether, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional country home that effortlessly combines period character with contemporary convenience.
