The exterior of “Laurel Cottage” immediately catches the eye, with its classic cottage facade and wrap-around gardens creating a warm and inviting approach. The property is nestled within a private plot, surrounded by established greenery, offering a sense of seclusion and tranquillity. The driveway provides ample parking space for multiple vehicles and leads to the double garage, which is further enhanced by its first-floor games room or office space.

Upon entering the ground floor, you are welcomed by three generously proportioned reception rooms, including a spacious main living room with a charming country feel. The modern kitchen is fitted with an array of wall, base, and tower units, complemented by premium granite work surfaces and a central feature island.

Outside, the garden is an exceptional feature of this property, with around half an acre of formal gardens and an additional half acre of land adjoining. The expansive and meticulously maintained lawn is bordered by mature trees, plants, and shrubs, creating a peaceful and private outdoor haven. The stone patio terrace is perfect for alfresco dining and outdoor gatherings. The detached double garage includes a first-floor space currently used as a games room or office, but with the potential to be repurposed into a fifth bedroom or ancillary accommodation, subject to obtaining the usual relevant planning consent.
