Welcome to Melrose Cottage - Where Rustic Charm Meets Contemporary Elegance

Step through the front door into a bright and welcoming lounge, where a striking exposed brick chimney breast and a cast iron wood-burning stove immediately set the tone. This space flows effortlessly into a versatile second reception area, currently styled as a dual home office.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the expansive Shaker-style kitchen. Designed for both functionality and flair, it features solid wooden worktops, a classic range oven with an induction hob, an elegant tiled splashback, and a modern extractor hood. A deep butler sink is perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking views of the surrounding farmers' fields.

Just off the kitchen, a cleverly designed inner lobby houses a bespoke folding door revealing a neat utility cupboard, alongside access to the stylish, design-led bathroom. Here you'll find a luxurious double monsoon shower within a sleek glass enclosure, a cast-iron Castrad heated towel rail, and a contemporary vanity unit with integrated toilet.

A charming, winding staircase tucked behind the fireplace leads to the first floor, where two individually styled bedrooms await. Each boasting panoramic views of the rolling fields.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own. Electric gates open onto an expansive gravel driveway framed by raised borders and manicured hedging. A sweeping lawn stretches along the side of the property, complete with a charming character well and mature fig trees. The rear garden backs directly onto open woodlands, creating a private and picturesque haven.

The generous plot also includes a detached brick-built workshop or outhouse - ideal for creative projects, storage, or conversion potential. With breathtaking field views from almost every angle, Melrose Cottage not only offers a fully renovated home full of character, but also holds incredible potential for future extension or development (STPP).
