Roseland Cottage – An Idyllic Country Retreat with Exceptional Views and Paddock Land
Approached via a private tarmac driveway off Newtown Lane, Roseland Cottage enjoys an enviable position set back from the road, affording privacy, far-reaching views and a wonderful sense of arrival. The sweeping access provides generous turning space and parking for multiple vehicles, extending towards the adjoining stable block.
The welcoming front door opens into a carpeted entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor and useful understairs storage. From here, a thoughtfully appointed boot room – complete with bespoke wine storage and a front-facing window – offers practical elegance, complemented by a discreet cloakroom with wash hand basin.
At the heart of the home lies an impressive, generously proportioned living room. A striking exposed feature wall and fireplace create a warm focal point, while windows to the side and rear frame delightful views across the gardens and paddocks. Glazed doors open directly onto the patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen is substantial and filled with natural light, enjoying further garden views and direct access outside. It is well fitted with wall and base units, a sink with double drainer, tiled splash backs and space for a breakfast table — an ideal setting for informal dining overlooking the grounds. Adjacent, a charming formal dining room with fitted shelving and garden-facing window provides an elegant space for entertaining.
A practical utility room to the front, with sink, base units and rear access to the parking area, ensures the day-to-day workings of the house are well catered for. Beyond this lies a well-equipped study with extensive shelving and fitted desk, perfectly positioned for home working while enjoying the peaceful rural outlook.
The first floor opens onto a spacious landing leading to four bedrooms, three of which are generous doubles. Each bedroom benefits from integrated storage and captivating views — either across the expansive gardens or over the adjoining paddocks — reinforcing the property’s exceptional setting. Two large family bathrooms serve the accommodation, each comprising bath, separate shower, W/C and wash hand basin. While well-appointed, the sanitaryware offers an opportunity for tasteful modernisation to suit individual preference.
Gardens, Grounds & Equestrian Appeal
To the rear, doors open onto a stone-walled patio bordered by established flowerbeds — an idyllic vantage point from which to enjoy the sweeping lawned garden beyond. The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature conifers, creating both structure and privacy. At the far end of the garden lies an enchanting natural pool, perfectly positioned to capture the tranqillity of the setting.
Beyond the formal garden is a former tennis court, complete with existing net and mesh surround, presenting exciting potential for reinstatement. A substantial timber barn with galvanised roof and open bay provides covered parking and an excellent workshop space, benefitting from electricity and a concrete floor. To the rear, a lean-to incorporates two loose boxes with direct access to the paddock.
The land is thoughtfully arranged into two relatively level paddocks, enclosed by established hedging and stock-proof fencing. The first paddock, extending to approximately 1.6 acres, enjoys frontage to the A44 and lies to the front of the house. The second paddock, approximately 1.8 acres, is accessed independently from the courtyard and stable area and includes an additional pond and a charming wooded area to the east.
In all, Roseland Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully positioned country home with superb views, mature gardens and versatile equestrian or lifestyle land — combining privacy, practicality and picturesque surroundings in equal measure.
