Their generous proportions offer exciting possibilities to suit a variety of lifestyles.

A Little History
Grove Cottage was originally part of Grove Farm Cottages and dates back to its agricultural roots, with sections once used as animal barns, sheds and a wash house complete with its own well. Over the years, successive owners have sympathetically transformed the property into the charming family home it is today, while preserving many original features, including the beautiful parquet flooring and evidence of its historic layout. The attic was converted in the early 1990s to create additional living space, while the former wash house became the present study, where the original well remains a unique feature. Since 2011, the current owners have lovingly restored and enhanced the cottage, creating the stunning gardens, a secret garden and lily pond.
Outside
The gardens are a particular delight and have been lovingly created to provide colour, interest and enjoyment throughout the seasons. During the summer months they become a spectacular display, with an abundance of flowering plants, mature shrubs and carefully chosen perennials creating a rich tapestry of colour and fragrance.
Designed as a series of enchanting outdoor areas, the gardens offer secluded seating areas, thoughtfully positioned to capture the sun at different times of the day. Whether enjoying a leisurely breakfast, afternoon tea or an evening glass of wine, each spot provides its own unique perspective of this idyllic setting.
Adding both charm and character is an attractive folly, in what was formerly a pig sty, while a picturesque pond, adorned with water lilies, creates a tranquil focal point that attracts birds and other wildlife. The gardens extend to the front and side of the property, with a lawn to the front framed by well-stocked borders that enhance the cottage's timeless appeal.
A cobbled driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles and an integral garage is fitted with an electric door.
Altogether, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional country home that effortlessly combines period character with contemporary convenience.
