Description

Tucked discreetly behind double gates in the heart of Bushby, Plum Tree Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored home of distinction. Originally a traditional village cottage, the property has undergone a full transformation to create a design-led residence that provides convenience to move in straight away across approximately 1,847 sq. ft.

Internally, the accommodation is light-filled and thoughtfully arranged. The entrance hall leads into a striking principal lounge with front garden views - an ideal setting for relaxed evenings or entertaining. Across the hall, a statement kitchen forms the hub of the home. Finished with bespoke cabinetry, handcrafted tiled worktops, and a generous island with seating, this space flows into a practical utility room and through to a bright, glazed orangery. With panoramic views of the gardens, the orangery offers an inviting spot to unwind throughout the year.

Beyond, the open-plan vaulted dining area is an impressive feature, bathed in natural light and opening directly onto a courtyard garden for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

A large ground-floor bedroom suite lies to the rear of the home, currently arranged as a home gym and complete with stylish en suite shower room and bespoke walk-in wardrobe. French doors open onto a private rear terrace, making this an ideal guest suite or multi-functional space. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, ensuring year-round comfort.

Upstairs, two elegant double bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, finished with designer sanitaryware, twin basins, and brushed brass fittings. Each bedroom retains a sense of character, with the principal room enjoying a calm, contemporary palette and the guest room featuring an original cast iron fireplace.

Outside, the gardens are a key feature - carefully landscaped to offer both privacy and usable space. To the front, a manicured lawn and paved seating area enjoy excellent privacy, while the rear courtyard garden provides an intimate, enclosed retreat ideal for quiet relaxation or morning coffee. Secure off-street parking lies beyond the front gates.
