The home welcomes you through a striking sandstone wall and a spacious entrance porch, offering ample room for coats, shoes, and outdoor gear. With a side window, a handy storage cupboard, and access to a stylish cloakroom, the porch provides a practical and welcoming entrance. From here, a door opens into the light-filled sitting room, where side windows and French doors flood the space with natural light, leading to the conservatory. The room's character is enhanced by a sandstone pillar, a feature stone fireplace wall, and an open-tread staircase that leads to the first floor.

An inner hall connects the sitting room to other key areas of the home, with a door to the right leading into the study and another to the left opening into a well-appointed bathroom with a modern three-piece suite.

The dining room, accessed through a sliding door from the sitting room, enjoys excellent natural light from a side window and a charming walk-in bay window. A small step leads into the spacious breakfast kitchen, which boasts an impressive range of units and a luxurious Smeg double range cooker. Additional windows provide beautiful views over the gardens, while the kitchen is equipped with space for an upright fridge/freezer and two pantry cupboards. A door leads to the utility room, which offers further storage and work surfaces, with access to the side of the cottage.

The principal bedroom suite is positioned at the right of the landing, where a large window overlooks the rear garden and fields beyond. The suite includes a stylish dressing area with built-in mirrored wardrobes and a window to the side, as well as a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with a corner shower, toilet, vanity sink units, and a freestanding slipper bath positioned to enjoy the peaceful garden views.
