Ground Floor – Charming Cottage Character

The ground floor opens into a characterful hallway, with a layout that flows into two distinct reception spaces. The 28ft living room is the standout feature, with bifold doors framing uninterrupted countryside views and a working brick fireplace offering a focal point during winter evenings. This large, open-plan room is a versatile space that could be used for dining, relaxing, reading, entertaining, and more.

Hidden behind the fireplace is a spacious yet cosy room that makes an excellent home office or family room, providing additional comfort and flexibility.

The kitchen is fitted with integrated Lamona appliances and a Rangemaster cooker with an induction hob. Stylishly designed and finished to a high standard, it features exposed beams, space for dining, and an adjoining utility room. A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor, delivering convenience alongside charm.

First Floor – Spacious, Relaxing Bedrooms

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is flooded with natural light and enjoys sweeping views across open countryside via French doors and a Juliet balcony. The modern en-suite shower room ensures privacy and convenience.

A further three bedrooms, including a generous guest suite with another en-suite shower room and access to eaves storage, offer flexibility for family life or guests. The charming family bathroom has plenty of space and features a roll-top bath.

Multiple storage areas, including loft access, ensure practicality as well as comfort.

Outdoor Living – Peaceful Countryside Views

The west-facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped, including a new patio and freshly reseeded lawn, to create a space that makes the most of the rural setting. Sunlight fills the garden from late morning until sunset, creating an ideal backdrop for entertaining or unwinding. The front garden features rose bushes and a newly laid driveway, with off-road parking for four or more vehicles. Mature boundary hedging offers privacy while keeping the open views intact. There may be scope to add a garage, subject to planning.
