A dual aspect snug has an exposed brick fireplace with woodburning stove, flanked on each side by bespoke fitted storage. The ground floor accommodation is completed by an L-shaped kitchen/dining room with tiled flooring throughout. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units including a breakfast bar, granite work surfaces, modern integrated appliances, and a door to a fitted utility room with a useful separate cloakroom and a door to the driveway and parking. The dining area has space for a sizeable table and French doors to the rear terrace. On the first floor the property provides a triple aspect principal bedroom with fitted storage and an en suite shower room, four further well-proportioned double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom with bath and separate shower enclosure. The bedrooms have fantastic views across rolling farmland.

The house is approached through a five-bar gate over a gravelled driveway and forecourt providing private parking and giving access to a detached double garage.

Winding Wood Cottage takes full advantage of its beautiful rural location and the garden has far reaching views of the adjacent countryside.

The formal well-maintained garden to the rear is laid mainly to level lawn interspersed with well-stocked flower and shrub beds and bordered by mature hedging and trees. It features a number of seating areas, including a timber summer house and a paved rear terrace accessible from the sitting room and dining area, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. A stock-fenced paddock with an orchard adds versatility to the grounds. Within this paddock there are some ground level solar panels which feed the house and a battery storage unit in the garage increasing energy efficiency.

The double garage incorporates a side hall with stairs rising to a vaulted first floor room extending to more than 24 ft in length, with potential for conversion to a self-contained annexe if required (STP).
