Church Road, NR32

Elstow...

This home has an authentic appeal that makes you feel welcome from the very first moment you step beyond the quaint front porch, where the scent of the Honeysuckle trails behind you. With calm and carefully considered interiors, thoughtful updates and extensions have elevated this cottage into the 21st century and invited swathes of natural light into large welcoming spaces, all finished with a beautifully neutral palette.
The sitting room remains cosy and intimate, with a log-burning stove nestled into the exposed brick fireplace and aged wooden beams selling the story of history steeped within the walls. Stylish (and original) white panelling frames the opening from one room to another, encouraging a wonderful flow from space to space, allowing the footprint to feel interconnected and appreciably larger.
A lesson in the art of fusing country charm with vast modern simplicity, the eat-in kitchen-diner is a feast for all the senses. With banks of tall windows and skylights above, this room is bright no matter what the season, encouraging the cottage gardens views inside, merging outside-in. The crisp white stone work-surfaces elevate the light further, resting perfectly next to the soft cashmere grey cabinetry, the perfect backdrop to this large sociable space where you will be sure to spend most of your time.
Thoughtfully added skylights litter the ceilings throughout the cottage and the landing is no exception, paving the way to the first floor.
Just when you thought is couldn't get any better, the principal bedroom to the front aspect will stop you in your tracks, with un-interrupted views over the village green opposite, the calming pastel tones and stylish panelling, it's what bedroom dreams are made of.
Nestled between here and the significantly large second bedroom, is the bath and shower suite which has been stylishly finished, complete with spa bath and walk-in wet room shower.

Outside...

Drenched in Honeysuckle and other well chosen country cottage style greeney, the curb appeal Elstow is everything you could hope for from a charming country cottage. The driveway allows parking off-road and access to the garage which is great for under-cover parking or just plenty of storage. Wonderfully private, the rear garden is swathed in blossom from the Cherry Tree, with space to quietly enjoy the country air throughout the seasons.
