Tucked Away Behind Wrought Iron Gates, a Beautifully Presented Grade II Listed Stone Cottage with Private Parking and a Secluded Courtyard Garden in the Heart of Wansford.

Discreetly set back from Elton Road behind wrought iron gates, this charming Grade II listed semi-detached stone cottage offers an appealing blend of period character and contemporary comfort. Constructed beneath a traditional Collyweston slate roof, this delightful two-bedroom home enjoys the rare advantage of private off-street parking for two vehicles, together with a secluded courtyard garden, in the heart of the sought-after village of Wansford.

The front door opens into a beautifully presented kitchen, a bright and welcoming space fitted with a matching range of contemporary high-gloss eye and base level units complemented by wooden work surfaces. A polished granite floor adds a touch of elegance, while a bowl ceramic sink and integrated appliances, including a fridge freezer, washing machine, electric hob and extractor hood, ensure the kitchen is as practical as it is stylish.

Beyond, the accommodation flows naturally into a generous dual-aspect sitting room, where wooden flooring and an attractive feature fireplace with a stone-flagged hearth and electric fire create a warm and inviting focal point. Flooded with natural light, the room offers an elegant blend of period character and contemporary comfort.

A bespoke oak staircase rises to the first floor, while a further door leads into the versatile dining/family room. With French doors opening onto the private courtyard garden and a secondary entrance accessed via a private gated pathway from Elton Road, this room provides an excellent space for entertaining or everyday family life.

On the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features an attractive cast iron inset fireplace and built-in storage, while the second bedroom is full of character with exposed ceiling timbers. Both are served by a well-appointed family bathroom comprising a freestanding shower, bath, wash basin and WC.

Outside
The property is approached via a shared gravel driveway behind wrought iron gates, leading to private parking for two vehicles, an increasingly rare asset within the village centre. The enclosed courtyard garden provides a peaceful and secluded outdoor retreat, partly enclosed by stone walls and complemented by well-stocked planted borders. A private pedestrian pathway, belonging exclusively to the property, wraps around the cottage and provides direct gated access onto Elton Road.
