– 3.6 acres of organically managed land
– 1 acre biodiversity/wild swimming lake
– Optimum privacy but well located close to beaches
– Self sustainable homestead set up with 3 polycarbonate tunnels
Note: all paperwork is correct, in order and waiting with our solicitor. We are seeking a quick and simple completion, so seeking cash buyers only who are ready, no mortgages, thank you.
A tranquil retreat away from it all, this property has been lovingly restored whilst retaining its charm. The original outbuildings have been reinstated and three polycarbonate tunnels provide year round organic food along with fruit trees and a chicken run.
The land has many mature deciduous trees and hedgerows and in the centre of it all, a stunning one acre biodiversity lake has been created which is autonomous and looks after itself with no maintenance required.
The shallow lake has an island, a 28 sqm sandy beach and a lakeside summerhouse and is perfect for paddle boarding and wild swimming. The lake is a much needed resource for large flocks of swallows, swifts and martens which treat you to an aerial display as they drink and bathe. Every year the swallows nest here. Imagine relaxing by the lake in a totally private retreat… watching all the different kinds of dragonflies and damselflies and the resident water birds, while being surrounded by wildflowers and birdsong. This is a real privilege.
The banks of the lake have been planted with over 1000 willows, silver birch and hawthorn trees and a visiting otter can be watched on trail cams… it can’t be overstated that the location is second to none.
The cottage and outbuildings are set around an original cobbled yard, and a stone bridge crosses a pond to the kitchen garden with various useful sheds. Adjoining the cottage is a workshop and garage.
The outbuildings are suitable for a variety of uses, working from home, etc. and there is scope to extend the cottage to double it’s current size (subject to planning permission), as both neighbouring properties have done so recently.
This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a home full of charm and character and to live close to nature in tranquil surroundings and so near the coast.
