Grade II listed and dating back to circa 1740, this superb cottage beautifully combines timeless character with the comfort and style of modern living. Totally transformed by the present owner with no expense spared, it offers a rare opportunity to buy a home that feels both full of history and ready to enjoy from day one. Set over three floors and entered on the ground floor, the property has been thoughtfully improved throughout to create a home that feels warm, elegant and wonderfully inviting. The accommodation includes two bedrooms, a stylish bathroom and a lovely reception room, all enhanced by the cottage's inherent charm and distinctive period appeal. Every detail has been considered, allowing the character of the home to shine while introducing tasteful, high-quality finishes that make everyday living feel effortless. One of the most striking features is the vaulted cellar, which has now been changed into a dining room. This creates a beautifully atmospheric space for entertaining friends, hosting intimate dinners or simply enjoying a quieter moment at the end of the day. The addition of a new kitchen and bathroom further elevates the property, bringing a fresh and refined feel that complements the age and personality of the cottage perfectly. Outside, the gardens have also been changed and now provide a quiet retreat to the rear, ideal for relaxing with a morning coffee, unwinding in the sunshine or enjoying a little escape from the pace of daily life. This private outdoor space adds another layer of appeal, making the home feel peaceful and nurturing as well as practical. Off road parking is a valuable advantage too, giving added ease and convenience. This is a home with heart, style and substance. It offers the romance of a period cottage, the reassurance of extensive improvement and the comfort of beautifully presented living spaces. For a buyer seeking something more individual than the ordinary, Mollydown Cottage stands out for all the right reasons. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the standard of finish, the charm of the setting and just how special this home really is. The property is well placed in Idle, with supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities, healthcare services and rail links all within easy reach, making it a practical location as well as an appealing one.
