The Cottage is further enhanced by the stunning garden room, a versatile addition, ideal for both relaxation and productivity currently being used as a Gym. The additional outbuildings could also offer a lot of potential for hobbies, storage, or even an additional workspace.

A newly erected Accoya hardwood porch welcomes you into the heart of this home, opening up to the spacious Open-Plan Sitting Room and Kitchen. The laminate flooring throughout adds a sleek, modern touch, complementing the natural warmth of the space. A front-facing window with seat below frames a lovely view of the garden. The exposed ceiling beam adds character and charm, creating a rustic feel that enhances the room's inviting atmosphere. At the heart of the Sitting Area, the woodburner serves as the perfect focal point, offering both warmth and a cozy ambiance.

The superb Kitchen is undoubtedly one of the standout features of this cottage, offering a modern, contemporary design that blends seamlessly with the home’s character. Dove Grey base and wall units provide ample storage, while the stunning quartz worktops with matching upstands extend to create a sleek breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining. A comprehensive range of built-in appliances includes an electric fan-assisted oven, a 4-ring induction hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine, making this Kitchen as practical as it is stylish. The inset sink is positioned beneath a window, allowing you to enjoy a view of the garden while you wash up.

Stairs lead to the first floor, with a handy cupboard/larder tucked underneath, offering the ideal space to house Kitchen essentials like a microwave and air fryer.

On the First Floor, a window offers rear aspect views, and door and stairs extend to the Second floor Bedroom. The exposed varnished floorboards add a touch of warmth and character, flowing seamlessly into Bedrooms 2 and 3. Both of these Bedrooms enjoy views of the garden, with charming window seating beneath. Bedroom 3 is particularly well-equipped, featuring extensive wardrobe storage and a matching drawer unit, complete with display shelving above, offering both functionality and style.

The period-style White Bathroom Suite features a panelled bath with a mixer tap and shower above. The vanity wash hand basin is complemented by cupboard storage underneath, and a low-level WC with a concealed cistern completes the suite.

The superb Garden Room is a standout feature, insulated and constructed with high-quality Accoya hardwood doors and windows. Recessed ceiling lights and laminate flooring enhance the room’s modern, stylish appeal, while the timber decking adjacent to the front offers a perfect space for outdoor relaxation.
