Ridd Cottage has been thoughtfully refurbished, combining contemporary styling with its traditional character. The first floor serves as the heart of the home, featuring a spacious open-plan living area with a stylish shaker-style kitchen, a central island with a breakfast bar, and modern integrated appliances. Wooden parquet flooring runs throughout, adding warmth and charm. Steps lead to a mezzanine-level snug or family room, creating a cosy retreat. The principal bedroom, also on the first floor, benefits from a dual aspect and an en suite shower room.

The ground floor provides additional reception space, including a welcoming sitting room with a wood-burning stove. There are three well-presented double bedrooms on this level, one of which has an en suite bathroom and a separate entrance, making it ideal for guests or multi-generational living. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation.
