Minety Lane, Oaksey

Lilac Cottage is an attractive period home, with the original part of the property understood to date from circa 1820, that has been carefully extended and improved over time to create a comfortable and well-balanced family house.

The property successfully combines the warmth and character of a traditional cottage with the practical amenities expected for modern living, resulting in a home that is both charming and highly functional.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and benefits from an abundance of natural light, with a layout that lends itself well to contemporary family life while retaining a sense of individuality and character throughout.

The property is entered via a welcoming hallway which forms the central hub of the ground floor and immediately establishes the inviting atmosphere found throughout the house. From here, the principal living areas are easily accessed, creating a natural flow between rooms while maintaining clearly defined spaces for different uses.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, which provides a generous and sociable living environment ideally suited to both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen area is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and modern appliances, offering ample preparation and storage space.

The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a large table, while the sitting area, centred around a limestone fireplace, creates a relaxed and welcoming space for informal gatherings.

French doors open directly on to the garden, allowing natural light to flood the room and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living -particularly enjoyable during the warmer months.

In addition to the main living space, the property benefits from a separate sitting room positioned to the rear of the house. This room provides a quieter and more intimate setting, ideal for evenings or seasonal use, and features a fireplace that reinforces the cottage’s traditional character.

Practical day-to-day living is supported by a wellproportioned utility room providing additional storage, laundry facilities and workspace, helping to keep the main living areas organised and efficient. An adjoining cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys pleasant views across the surrounding countryside and benefits from its own en suite shower room. Three further bedrooms are all well proportioned and are served by a spacious family bathroom, making the property ideally suited to family occupation, visiting guests or flexible home working arrangements.
