Description

Enjoying a privileged position on a quiet road in the heart of highly desirable Daglingworth village, Tarry Cottage is a most characterful Grade II-listed detached property built in the late17th century from Cotswold stone under a Cotswold stone roof. To the rear there is an extension added in the 1960s, with scope to extend further if desired (subject to permissions). The cottage benefits from a number of character features, including exposed beams, a large inglenook fireplace and wood floors. The house has been well maintained though would benefit from some cosmetic modernisation, offering a fantastic chance for the new owner to redecorate as they see fit.

The downstairs layout is well planned and has good flow, incorporating a sitting room with open fireplace, a central dining room/reception hall and a kitchen leading out to boot room, cloakroom with WC and a utility or spare room at the rear. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside
Tarry Cottage is situated within a generous plot on a no-through road leading to the village church. It is approached via a gated gravel driveway which provides access to a single detached garage; a long south-facing garden leads to the front of the house via a pretty steppingstone path, with lawn to either side bordered by tall hedges and established borders. The garden to the rear is equally attractively landscaped and feels very private, with views over the surrounding countryside and a small orchard towards the rear.
