Craythorne Cottage, Beacon Road, Rolleston on Dove, DE13

Residing within a tranquil plot overlooking open views is Craythorne Cottage, a bespoke architect-designed detached village home offered with no upward chain, showcasing versatile open plan living, four bedrooms including a master with private balcony and a generous garden plot including a bespoke studio/summer house and a cabin/garden room offering ideal work-from-home space. Having been thoroughly refurbished, extended and upgraded by the existing vendors, Craythorne Cottage offers a superb standard of finish throughout alongside traditionally styled interiors including exposed beams, oak flooring, a traditional fireplace to the lounge and stunning oak framing to both the front and rear aspects.

Attention to detail has been paid both inside and out to create this traditional countryside home whilst including contemporary touches such as under floor heating to the ground floor, modern bathrooms and a handmade kitchen, allowing for the ideals of a character property alongside the practicalities of a newer architect-designed build.

The reception hall leads into the spacious dining room, with two additional reception rooms including an impressive oak framed garden room offering potential to divide off to create separate living areas. Double doors open to the bespoke farmhouse kitchen with utility room, and the hall also gives access to a cloakroom. The first floor landing offers plenty of space for a study/sitting area, leading off into four bedrooms (three doubles) and a luxurious family bathroom. The elegant principal bedroom suite is serviced by a walk in wardrobe and en suite, as well as having a balcony to the rear overlooking the gardens and delightful views beyond.

Outside, gated access opens into the wrap around plot, having ample parking and access into the twin oak framed garage to the front. Secluded gardens extend to the sides and rear offering a peaceful space overlooking rural views. Within the garden is a fabulous summer house currently used as a music studio offering an ideal work-from-home space, with a second cabin/garden room also included in the sale.
