Description

REF - DA1155

Lounge - 3.56m x 3.28m (11'8" x 10'9")

Step into storybook living! With its exposed beams overhead, warm terracotta floor tiles, and a crackling multi-fuel burner taking centre stage, this lounge oozes cottage charm. A radiator keeps it snug, and there’s even a handy cover to complete the look. The perfect spot to curl up with a book, a glass of wine, or just soak up the character that makes this cottage truly unique.

Dining Room - 3.73m x 3.35m (12'3" x 11'0")

Flowing straight from the lounge, this open-plan dining space is full of charm. The terracotta tiled floors and exposed beams carry that warm, rustic cottage vibe. A radiator with cover keeps the room snug, and with a door opening to the front of the property plus an internal door to the inner hall, it’s practical as well as picture-perfect. Whether it’s cosy dinners for two or entertaining friends, this space has heart and soul in spades.

Inner Hall

The cottage charm continues here — with terracotta tiled floors underfoot and exposed beams above, this hall is full of personality. Practical touches include a handy storage cupboard and direct access to the garage. From here, doors lead you into the bathroom, kitchen, and dining room, while the staircase to the first floor makes this the true hub of the home. Rustic charm meets everyday convenience!

Bathroom

Blending charm with practicality, the bathroom features a bathtub with mixer tap and shower over, complete with a sleek shower screen. The tiled floor and tiled splash areas keep things fresh and easy to maintain, while the toilet, wash hand basin, and radiator make it a fully equipped and functional space. A homely bathroom that’s simple, smart, and ready to unwind in.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The heart of the home and full of character! Set over two levels, the kitchen is bursting with rustic charm thanks to its exposed brickwork, terracotta tiled floors, and overhead beams. Cook up a storm on the five-ring gas hob with double oven, while the generous wall and base units provide plenty of storage. There’s space for all the essentials too — dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge/freezer. Natural light pours in through two side windows, and just a few steps up leads to the charming breakfast area, where the beams and flooring continue the cottage feel. Here, French doors open out into the garden — perfect for morning coffee, summer brunches, or simply throwing the doors wide to let the fresh air in.

Family Room / Bedroom 4 - 5.51m x 3.12m (18'1" x 10'3")

Flexible and full of charm, this ground floor room can be whatever you need — a cosy family snug, playroom, or a generous fourth bedroom. Character shines through with exposed beams and terracotta tiled flooring, while a radiator with cover keeps it snug all year round. Best of all, the patio doors open directly onto the garden, making this a bright, versatile space that’s as practical as it is inviting.

Bedroom One - 3.25m x 3.66m (10'8" x 12'0")

Bright and full of character, this bedroom enjoys both front and rear windows, filling the space with natural light. The exposed wooden flooring adds a rustic, homely touch, while a built-in storage cupboard makes it practical as well as stylish. Finished with a radiator to keep things cosy, it’s a versatile room that works beautifully as a bedroom, guest room, or even a chic home office.

Bedroom Two - 3.99m x 2.54m (13'1" x 8'4")

A dreamy retreat tucked away upstairs, this bedroom is full of character and light. With a rear skylight, side window, and front window, natural light fills the room beautifully. The exposed wooden flooring adds rustic charm, while a built-in shelving unit makes clever use of space. There’s also loft access for handy storage and a radiator to keep things cosy. A spacious, stylish main bedroom that feels like the perfect escape at the end of the day.

Bedroom Three - 3.63m x 2.59m (11'11"Max x 8'6")

Full of charm and practicality, this bedroom features a bright front window and warm exposed wooden flooring that adds character throughout. A clever little nook provides the perfect spot for a desk, dressing table, or extra storage, making the space super versatile. Finished with a radiator for year-round comfort, it’s an inviting room that’s just as functional as it is stylish.

Home Office & Gym - 4.83m x 4.67m (15'10" x 15'3")

A real hidden gem at the top of the garden! This versatile space comes with power and lighting, double doors opening to the garden, and two windows overlooking the greenery, flooding the room with natural light. Perfect as a home office, creative studio, or private gym, it’s a beautiful spot to work, train, or simply escape — all while enjoying the peaceful garden surroundings.

Outbuilding

At the very top of the garden sits a sturdy brick-built outbuilding, offering endless possibilities. Perfect for storage, a workshop, or even a creative studio, it’s a practical addition that complements the charming cottage and beautifully landscaped garden.

Garage, Drive and The Front of the Property

Low-maintenance and full of charm, the front garden is enclosed with fencing and features a handy gate to the front of the property. A driveway leads straight to the garage, complete with roller door, making access easy and practical. A welcoming, fuss-free space that perfectly sets the tone for this character cottage.

Garden

Prepare to be wowed! The rear garden is a true oasis, as wide as the cottage with a spacious patio area perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Walls and fencing enclose the space, which is mature and bursting with shrubs, hedges, and trees, creating a private, peaceful retreat. Mostly laid to lawn, the garden leads up to a couple of ponds and a further sitting area at the top, designed to catch the sun all day long. With space, character, and charm, it’s a garden made for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the great outdoors.

Understand the length of time it can take - 14 weeks from when you accept an offer, or have an offer accepted to move in! A long time!

It can get stressful, but speak to your agent and your solicitor and they will put you in the picture
