Interior
Step inside this charming countryside cottage, steeped in character and exuding timeless appeal. As you enter through the welcoming porch, perfect for storing muddy boots after a walk through the fields, you’re immediately embraced by the warmth and timeless appeal of this home.

The spacious lounge is the heart of the house, featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace with an open fire and stove, making it an inviting space for cosy evenings with family. The exposed beams overhead add a rustic charm, while stairs lead up to the first floor.

Off the lounge, you’ll find a dining room, ideal for formal gatherings, but versatile enough to be used as a study or creative space.

The kitchen/breakfast room exudes character with its wooden beam running along the ceiling and another delightful fireplace with a log burner. This generous space is ideal for both preparing meals and enjoying a casual breakfast at the bar or dining with a view of the garden. Ample counter space and cupboards provide functionality, while the kitchen’s layout allows for versatility – whether you prefer a cosy breakfast nook, an additional reception area, or even an office space.

Through the kitchen, you’ll discover the snug room, a flexible space that has been used as a bedroom with an en-suite in the past.
