Country living - Upper Littleton

Delightful two-bedroom stone-built country cottage with a surprisingly spacious interior, a generous south-facing garden, a substantial triple garage, and a peaceful rural setting.

About the property

Converted around 20 years ago, the property blends traditional character with modern comfort. Exposed stone walls, timber beams and wooden floors create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The south-facing garden is a haven for gardening enthusiasts, with a paved terrace providing the perfect spot to relax or entertain. A large triple garage with power and light offers excellent scope for storage, parking or workshop space.

About the inside

The enclosed porch opens into a spacious kitchen and dining room, complete with exposed beams, an Aga, timber flooring and bespoke cabinetry, including a generous pantry cupboard. From here, a glazed door leads to the garden room, a bright and airy space with flagstone flooring, exposed stonework and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. The large living room is equally welcoming, with a wood-burning stove and glazed doors leading to the side. Upstairs, there are two comfortable double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, which has substantial hidden storage space, along with a contemporary shower room.

About the outside

Outside, a shared driveway leads past the timber triple garage and adjoining parking area, through a five-bar gate into the property where there is further gravelled parking with electric car charging capabilities. The south-facing garden is laid mainly to lawn, enclosed by mature trees and hedging, and enhanced by seasonal planting, including a striking wisteria climbing across the garden room. A paved terrace overlooks the garden, while a discreet path around the cottage provides useful storage areas.
