Set within approximately two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, surrounded by woodland and open countryside, Cherry Croft Cottage is a home that offers scale, sanctuary and privacy, in the heart of a vibrant local community.

Originally dating back to mid to late 18th century and completely refurbished by the current owners in 2016, it has been thoughtfully reworked to combine period character with a level of finish and functionality built to comfort and impress.

With over 5,000 sq ft of living space, a separate annexe, leisure facilities and gardens designed for both entertaining and everyday life, this is a home that delivers on every level, quietly and confidently.

A sense of arrival

From the moment the electric gates open, there is a feeling of privacy and calm. The house sits perfectly within its plot, surrounded by mature planting and open space, creating a setting that feels secluded without ever being isolated.

Step inside and the entrance hall immediately sets the tone. Treble-height and filled with natural light, it draws your eye straight through the house to the gardens beyond. It is an impressive welcome and one that feels warm and inviting.

Designed around the way you live

Impressively blending picture perfect character with the best of modern living, the layout has been carefully considered to balance everyday life with entertaining.

The kitchen is practical and beautifully executed, with a bespoke handmade Evie Willow design, granite worktops, Miele appliances and underfloor heating. It is a space built not just for cooking, but for gathering. The utility room at the back of the house keeps washing separate and provides handy extra storage space, as well as an ever practical boot room entrance for dog walks on muddy days.

Flowing directly from the kitchen, the orangery becomes the natural heart of the home. With a triple aspect outlook, it brings the garden into the house and creates a space that feels equally suited to relaxed mornings, family time or larger gatherings. Doors open onto the terrace, allowing life to move effortlessly between inside and out.

Alongside this, the more formal spaces are equally well considered. The dining room offers a refined setting for entertaining, while the living room, with its log burner and picture window, creates a natural focal point for evenings together.

Additional rooms, including a flexible family room, allow the house to adapt, whether as a home office, games room or space for older children.

Upstairs: calm, considered and complete

Upstairs, the sense of light and space continues. A bright landing, illuminated by an architectural window, creates a natural focal point and a place to pause.

The principal suite has been designed as a true retreat, complete with dressing room and en suite, while four further bedrooms provide generous accommodation for family and guests. Two additional bathrooms, all with underfloor heating, ensure both comfort and practicality.

Every room feels connected to the surrounding landscape, with views that shift gently throughout the seasons.

Gardens designed for living

The gardens at Cherry Croft Cottage are as considered as the house itself. Extending to approximately two acres, they offer a blend of open lawn, mature planting and carefully designed spaces for entertaining.

The terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, grounds that you can sense have hosted many a fun event, with a natural flow that lends itself to both larger occasions and quieter moments.

A pond adds to the tranquillity, while the outdoor pool, pool house and sauna introduce a more indulgent element, creating a setting that feels closer to a private retreat than a traditional family home.

Flexibility beyond the main house

The inclusion of a separate annexe adds another dimension to the property. With its own living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom, it offers complete independence for guests, extended family or live-in support. It also offers the opportunity to run a business from home - more than just space for a desk or office, this opens up a world of options.

Alongside the double garage, a long private driveway provides generous parking for multiple vehicles, ideal for family life and hosting on a larger scale.
