**Summary:**
High Stott Park Cottage is a charming Grade II Listed property steeped in history and character, featuring exposed ancient ship's beams, deep-set cottage windows with window seats, original doors, spice cupboards, and charming nooks and crannies. Despite its age, the cottage offers surprisingly spacious accommodation. It boasts a warm and welcoming interior with a multi-fuel stove in the inglenook fireplace and an extensive range of period features. The property includes a beautiful mature garden with a variety of trees and shrubs, a cottage garden, and a stone piggery. Notably, there is a barn with garages below, which has planning permission to convert into a 4-bedroom family home with living accommodation and an en-suite bedroom on the upper floor, and three further bedrooms and a bathroom on the lower floor. The cottage has been well maintained, with a new roof in 2011, and offers a spacious living room, a cozy snug, and a dining kitchen with a central farmhouse table and a Stanley Oil-fired Cooker Range. Additional features include under-stairs storage, a rear hall, an 'Old Dairy' utility room with original cold slabs, and a side entrance vestibule. The property's history is intertwined with Beatrix Potter, who purchased pigs from a previous occupant, as mentioned in her book 'The Fairy Caravan'. This enchanting home is now available for sale due to the owners' downsizing needs.
