The renowned Bolesworth Estate hosts an exciting calendar of prestigious events, including the internationally acclaimed Bolesworth Horse Show.The nearby market town of Whitchurch offers an excellent range of supermarkets, independent retailers, leisure facilities and everyday amenities.

The well-balanced accommodation is perfectly suited to modern family life whilst retaining its traditional charm. An inviting entrance hall leads through to a formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, whilst the elegant sitting room centres around a characterful open fireplace, creating a cosy retreat during the cooler months. A separate family room offers excellent versatility and could equally serve as a playroom, home office or snug.

There is also a ground floor shower room, adding practicality to the home's thoughtful layout.

Outside, White Cottage continues to impress. A gated entrance from Love Lane opens onto an extensive driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, which extends to a useful carport and detached tandem garage. The beautifully landscaped front gardens create an attractive first impression and feature a charming model railway, offering a truly unique focal point.
The generous rear gardens are a particular highlight, providing an idyllic setting for families and keen gardeners alike. There is ample space for a productive kitchen garden, chicken coop and composting area, making the property well suited to those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. A substantial insulated garden room, currently utilised as a 'man cave', offers endless possibilities as a home office, studio, gym or hobbies room, whilst additional garden storage sheds provide excellent practicality. Beyond the gardens, the property enjoys delightful open views across the surrounding countryside towards the Welsh Hills, creating a wonderful backdrop throughout the seasons.
From Malpas drive out on the Tilston Road and after about ½ a mile turn left into Overton Heath Lane and then left again into Love Lane and the cottage is located on the bend on the right hand side.

You usually pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on increasing portions of the property price above £125,000 when you buy residential property, eg a house or flat.
There are different rules if you’re buying your first home and the purchase price is £500,000 or less.
You’ll usually have to pay 3% on top of the normal SDLT rates if buying a new residential property means you’ll own more than one.
You won’t pay the extra 3% SDLT if the property you’re buying is replacing your main residence and that has already been sold.
