Highlights at a Glance
• Rich History:
Dating back to the mid-1800s, Spergula Cottage once formed part of the Spergula House estate, crafted by renowned architects Beadle, Son & Chancellor. The first resident, Arthur Lucking, was the estate’s gardener, and the home still showcases the period’s charm with its high ceilings, picture rails, and original red brick façade.
• Spacious Living Area:
The generous lounge-diner is a welcoming heart of the home, featuring original pine flooring, an electric feature fireplace, and abundant natural light from double-glazed bow and side windows.
• Practical Kitchen & Utility:
Fitted with a range of eye- and base-level units, tiled splashbacks, and space for appliances, the kitchen flows seamlessly into a functional utility area with extra worktops and storage.
• Three Characterful Bedrooms:
Each bedroom offers its own unique charm, enhanced by period details such as picture rails and built-in storage.
• Beautifully Landscaped Gardens:
The south-facing grounds are divided into charming spaces:
• East Courtyard: A private, walled area perfect for alfresco dining.
• West Garden: Filled with mature borders, fruit trees, and shrubs.
• Main Lawn: Featuring a potting shed, summer house, and garage/workshop access—ideal for garden lovers.
• Ample Parking & Outbuildings:
Off road parking, a garage/workshop, and a cart lodge canopy for secure vehicle storage.
