For the very first time ever on the open market, this simply stunning Victorian home, Garden Court Cottage, awaits its next chapter. Set on an elevated plot within the prestigious Ottershaw Park Estate, it boasts truly glorious south-westerly views and plenty of character and charm throughout. It's genuinely rare to find an opportunity quite like this. This beautiful two/three-bedroom detached cottage is a real gem, featuring high ceilings and an abundance of natural light throughout. Set within the greenbelt on a mature, elevated plot, it offers huge potential to extend and modernise, subject to the usual planning permissions or by utilising your 30% allowance under permitted development rights. Step inside, and you'll find a home packed full of character and charm, exuding an immense feeling of warmth and historic nostalgia. Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in wardrobes. You'll also find further storage tucked away in the eaves and a small, traditional loft space. The main shower room, conveniently located upstairs, has been recently modernised. Downstairs, we have two main living rooms – one that could easily form your third bedroom if desired, and the other a lovely living room with a dining space offset. To the side of the home, there's a downstairs cloakroom, and then your kitchen, which leads into a useful utility/pantry space. Character abounds with four chimneys in the house, two on the ground floor, which are fully working and operational. The home benefits from solid fuel fired central heating and a solar panel connected to the hot water system for extra efficiency. While there's no gas currently at the house, it's reassuring to know there's gas in the street nearby. One of our favourite features of this home is the number of rooms with dual aspect windows. This, combined with the unusually high ceilings for a home of this age, truly enhances the feeling of space, natural light, and warmth. Upstairs, the rooms particularly benefit from the fabulous outlook, sweeping south-westerly across the walled gardens and the beautiful greenery beyond. Externally, to the front of the home, we have off-street parking for multiple cars and a mature garden that beautifully surrounds the cottage. To the rear, there’s a generous patio with private seating areas and a delightful wild meadow garden, thoughtfully designed and maintained to compliment the wonderful local wildlife and idyllic scenery. There's even a sustainable water storage system built into the garden – adding to the many lovely features to enjoy. Garden Court Cottage is truly steeped in history, dating back to pre-1865. It was originally the home of the Head Gardener of the Ottershaw Park Estate and has been cherished within our client's family for generations. Whilst this home, as it stands, is clearly loved and enjoyed by our clients, we have no doubt that future owners will envision and plan to extend and modernise it in their own unique way. We genuinely believe this home and its plot offer an unrivalled location and opportunity that is very rarely available on the market. EPC Rating E.
