Set in the peaceful rural village of Ashton Under Hill, this property has a thriving village pub, a sociable cricket club and two schools all within easy walking distance.
Walnut Tree Cottage is a beautifully presented 4-bedroom farmhouse, blending centuries-old charm with modern comfort. Approached via a private driveway with parking for three vehicles, the home greets you with a striking oak-framed porch, framed by lavender beds that fill the air.
Inside, the heart of the home has a generous farmhouse kitchen, complete with a range cooker, wine fridge, and solid oak floors that continue throughout the ground floor. Off the hallway lie three reception rooms, each with its own character. The formal sitting room boasts exposed beams, a bay window, and a spectacular 500-year-old inglenook fireplace with a log burner—a true centrepiece thought to have been built with stones from nearby Elmley Castle, and despite its age, the property isn’t listed.
A playroom currently serves as a fun and flexible family space, while the dining room features another log burner with doors that open directly onto the garden.
Practical living is well catered for with a separate utility room, ideal for dogs, muddy boots, and countryside living.
Upstairs, the character continues with exposed beams throughout. There are three main bedrooms on the first floor, each filled with charm and light. The main bedroom benefits from its own dressing area and a beautiful wood panelled bathroom with his & hers vanity unit. A further attic bedroom offers stunning views over the surrounding hills, perfect as a guest suite, office, or creative retreat.
Outside, the cottage-style garden is a delight, with mature trees including acer, cornus, and even a rare wedding cake tree, providing year-round interest and colour. A large garage with electric door offers ample storage or workshop potential.
A rare opportunity to own a piece of history, with modern touches and countryside views, this home is both welcoming and truly unique.
