About this property

Wheelwright Cottage – A Rare Opportunity to Own a Charming 19th Century Stone Cottage

Dating back to the 19th century, Wheelwright Cottage is a beautifully presented, double-fronted stone cottage, originally three cottages that have been thoughtfully combined to create a spacious and characterful family home. Rich in history and brimming with original features, this exceptional property seamlessly blends period charm with modern-day living.

Situated in the highly sought-after area of Walton, the property enjoys a tucked-away position within a peaceful cul-de-sac, offering both privacy and convenience. A stone driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a stone-built single garage with an electric door.

Approached through a traditional stone wall and gate, the delightful cottage-style front garden immediately sets the tone for this unique home. Beautifully landscaped with a patio seating area, mature flower and shrub borders, and a covered outdoor entertaining space, it provides the perfect setting for relaxing in the sunshine or enjoying evenings under the stars.

The property is entered via a charming conservatory, a wonderful additional reception space ideal for relaxing with a book or simply enjoying views of the garden throughout the seasons with the additional benefit of w/c as well

At the heart of the home is the stunning farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, fitted with a range of base and wall units, offering ample space for family dining and featuring stairs leading to the first floor. The inviting lounge provides a warm and cosy retreat, showcasing exposed wooden beams, feature stone walls, and an abundance of character, making it the perfect place to unwind.

The spacious first-floor landing continues the property’s impressive sense of space and individuality, with original features adding to its charm. There are three generous double bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes, together with a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom.

Properties of this calibre rarely come to the market. Wheelwright Cottage offers the perfect combination of generous living accommodation, timeless period features, and tasteful modern touches, all while retaining the warmth, charm, and character expected from a home of this era. Light, spacious, and beautifully maintained throughout, this is a truly special property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Please note that the AML fee covers the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.
