Full description

Plovers Cottage is a delightful blend of character, charm and comfort, situated within a generous 0.45 acre plot in the peaceful rural hamlet of Batchmere. This beautifully maintained semi-detached home offers spacious accommodation for all the family, surrounded by established gardens and a range of versatile outbuildings.

Upon entry, you are welcomed by the heart of the home, a characterful Sylvarna kitchen/breakfast room with a twin aspect, exposed beams, and stylish white Shaker-style cabinetry topped with granite work surfaces. There is an integrated dishwasher and a fitted utility cupboard in the hall which discreetly houses the washing machine, making this a practical yet inviting space for everyday living.

Leading through to the dining area, solid hardwood flooring flows underfoot, with a stunning wall of windows and patio doors that open out to the garden, inviting the outdoors in. Overhead, roof lights allow natural light to pour in, creating a wonderfully bright and airy space. The sitting room is both elegant and cosy, centred around a modern Morso Badger log burner set within a rustic brick fireplace, framed by charming sash windows.

The ground floor also benefits from a generously sized bedroom suite, enjoying stunning views across the garden through a large picture window, and completed by a near en suite shower room, due to its separate access this suite has been a successful holiday let for several years, providing additional income potential or flexible accommodation options for guests or multi-generational living.

Upstairs, you will find three further bedrooms, all featuring built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom includes a designated dressing area and access to a Jack and Jill bathroom, fitted with a shower over the bath, further vanity cupboards are fitted, offering additional storage.

The gardens are a true highlight of Plovers Cottage. The current owners have lovingly nurtured the outdoor space over the past 30 years, including the established boundary hedges and trees. A neatly paved path leads down to a thriving vegetable patch, with a large greenhouse and colourful borders that provide year-round interest. To the rear of the garden is a bespoke shepherd’s hut (available under separate negotiation) which sits within the established orchard of apple and pear trees. Used as a popular Airbnb for the past fewyears, it offers a proven income stream.

To the front, a gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles. A large workshop, which previously had planning permission for the erection of a three bedroom bungalow, offers superb potential (subject to necessary consents), and is complemented by two further outbuildings.

Further features include newly fitted, secure composite front and guest entrance doors, double-glazed windows and doors throughout, and a fully insulated loft with a fitted ladder, offering potential for conversion (subject to any necessary consents).
