About this home
Ocean Weston-super-Mare are delighted to present Rose Cottage to the market. This charming four bedroom village cottage which dates back to circa 1765, forms part of the rich history of the local area and remained within the Locking Manor Estate until 1919. The property beautifully combines character and period charm with generous and attractive outdoor space, including a superb, sizeable garden, off street parking and a substantial garage/workshop.
Overview
Dating back to circa 1765 Rose Cottage is a charming and characterful four bedroom village cottage, offering a wonderful blend of period features, generous living accommodation and the timeless appeal of a home with 261 years of local history to tell.
Set over two floors, the property provides well proportioned and flexible accommodation, making it an ideal family home. The ground floor presents two spacious reception rooms, each offering a welcoming and inviting space for both formal entertaining and relaxed everyday living. A generously sized kitchen/breakfast room is ideal for those less formal gatherings and the first of two bathrooms completes the downstairs.
Upstairs, the property offers four well proportioned bedrooms, together with a family bath/shower room.
Externally, the property benefits from a superb and sizeable garden, providing an excellent private outdoor space with plenty of potential for entertaining, gardening and family enjoyment. Off street parking and a garage/workshop further enhance the property's appeal.
Outside
The property is complemented by a generous and beautifully established garden, offering a wonderful sense of space, privacy and tranquillity. Mature trees and an abundance of established plants create a leafy and secluded setting, with a variety of shrubs, borders and planting providing colour, texture and interest throughout the four seasons. Extensive areas of well-maintained lawn provides plenty of space for children to play, relaxation and outdoor family fun, while the mature planting creates a delightful backdrop and a strong connection with nature, it could almost be described as a sanctuary. There are alfresco dining and entertaining spaces throughout the garden providing the perfect setting for spring and summer gatherings and enjoying the garden with family and friends. The combination of generous lawns, mature trees, established planting and entertaining space makes the garden a particularly special feature of the property, offering both versatility and privacy.
