Nestled in the heart of the ever-popular village of Stallingborough, Manor Cottage is a truly enchanting Grade II Listed period home, brimming with character, history, and potential. Believed to date from the 1860s, the property features attractive whitewashed elevations, a traditional pantile roof, and charming dormer windows, creating a distinctive village landmark and offering a rare opportunity to restore and enhance a beautiful family home.

Although requiring comprehensive modernisation and refurbishment throughout, the property offers tremendous scope for sympathetic improvement while retaining its wealth of original charm and period features. Set within mature grounds extending to approximately one-third of an acre, Manor Cottage also benefits from an impressive range of garages, coach houses, and outbuildings, making it ideal for those requiring workshops, storage, hobby space, or future development potential, subject to the necessary consents.

The accommodation begins with an enclosed entrance porch opening into a welcoming hallway, which provides access to a useful ground-floor shower room. There are three separate reception rooms, including a bright dual-aspect lounge overlooking the gardens, a study, and a central dining room featuring a charming boxed staircase rising to the first floor. An L-shaped kitchen completes the ground-floor accommodation.

To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to two generous double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant views over the surrounding gardens.

Outside lies one of the property's greatest attractions. The established gardens extend to approximately one-third of an acre and include expansive lawns, mature trees, a small fruit orchard, and a greenhouse, creating an attractive setting for keen gardeners and families alike.

A substantial range of outbuildings comprises an outside WC, store, boiler room, single garage, large adjoining coach house, timber garage, and additional brick and timber garages, offering exceptional storage and workshop space rarely found with village properties.

Please note that a right of way runs along the side of the property, providing access from Station Road to the adjoining field, and this right will be retained by the current owners.

For purchasers seeking additional land, there may also be an opportunity to acquire the adjoining paddock extending to approximately 0.93 acres, subject to separate negotiation.

Offering immense charm, generous grounds, and outstanding potential, Manor Cottage presents a unique opportunity to restore a beautiful period home within one of the area's most desirable villages, benefiting from a railway station, well-regarded schools, and local amenities. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, setting, and possibilities this exceptional property has to offer.
