**NO ONWARD CHAIN** Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Stonebridge, 1 Vine Cottages is a beautifully restored Grade II listed home dating back to 1770. Thoughtfully extended over the years, this three-bedroom cottage has been lovingly restored by its current owners, who have incorporated the original historic bakehouse into the home and added a first-floor extension, seamlessly blending modern design with the cottage’s period charm.
Steeped in history yet designed for modern living, the property has been fully rewired and boasts CAT6 wired connectivity throughout, fibre direct-to-property broadband (up to 100GB), and a Nest thermostat. Elegant cast iron radiators, Farrow & Ball paint finishes, and Heritage rooflights complement the home’s character, while a Worcester Bosch Combi Boiler ensures efficiency and comfort.
Outside, the property enjoys breathtaking views over open fields, with a stream marking the boundary, creating a peaceful and picturesque retreat. Despite its rural charm, the cottage is ideally located for families, with two well-regarded independent schools and a grammar school nearby. This makes it a perfect choice for commuters with families or those seeking tranquillity in the countryside while remaining close to local amenities.
