Howards Lane, Cardinals Green

The Accommodation 

Tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Cardinals Green on the edge of Horseheath, Cottage Nursery is far more than a home – it is a lifestyle. Behind its discreet entrance lies a modern detached bungalow surrounded by mature trees, extensive outbuildings, and rolling grounds of around 2.5 acres, complete with two picturesque ponds. It is a property that offers comfort, tranquillity, and the freedom to shape it to your way of life.

The bungalow itself provides a generous and adaptable layout, arranged entirely on one level. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to a wonderfully bright sitting room, where large windows frame garden views and a feature fireplace creates a focal point. A separate dining room provides an elegant setting for family gatherings or more formal entertaining. At the heart of the home lies the kitchen/breakfast room, with an array of cabinetry and modern appliances, and designed around a sociable breakfast bar. This space flows naturally into a conservatory, drawing in light and linking the house with the garden beyond. 

There are four double bedrooms, each with a sense of space and calm, including a principal suite with its own dressing area and en suite shower room. The family bathroom, with both bath and separate shower ensures convenience for family life and visiting guests. With several rooms enjoying direct garden access, there is an easy potential to create an annexe arrangement or private home office — perfect for multi-generational living or working from home.

Outside 

It is once you step outside that the true scope of Cottage Nursery unfolds. The property sits beautifully within its own land, extending to approximately 2.5 acres, enclosed by mature boundaries that provide both privacy and shelter. Two large ponds lend a natural charm, attracting an abundance of birdlife and creating tranquil spots for reflection or family enjoyment. The land offers scope for a smallholding, hobby farming, equestrian interests, or simply a generous canvas for gardens and outdoor living. Practicality is not forgotten: there is a large, substantial barn and further outbuildings, offering enormous flexibility for storage, workshops, stabling, or even commercial ventures. A sweeping driveway and forecourt ensure plenty of parking for residents and visitors alike.
