Description
The thatched entrance canopy opens into the SITTING ROOM, an inviting space where the front door is flanked by windows overlooking the gardens. This welcoming room is centred around a stone fireplace with timber mantel, brick and flagstone hearth with inset woodburning stove. Exposed ceiling beams add to the character, creating a space well suited for both everyday living and relaxing by the fire.
The KITCHEN/DINING ROOM is fitted with floor-mounted units and worksurfaces, with an inset Butler sink positioned beneath the window, providing plenty of natural light and a pleasant outlook. There is space for an oven (supplied by bottled gas), together with further space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. The room is large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs, making it a practical and sociable hub of the home. Further features include a useful walk-in larder and an under-stairs cupboard housing the oil-fired condensing boiler. A stable door opens into the SUN ROOM laid with attractive tiled flooring and providing access to a separate store cupboard. From here, a further door opens directly onto the paved patio and garden beyond.
Stairs rise to the first-floor landing where there is loft access, and a fitted cupboard with shelving. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has views over the across the garden and benefits from a fitted wardrobe with panelled doors.
BEDROOM TWO has two front-aspect windows, giving the room a particularly light and airy feel, with ample space for freestanding furniture.
Concluding the accommodation is the former bathroom, which has been thoughtfully adapted into a SHOWER ROOM, now arranged as a wet room with shower, wash hand basin, and W.C., providing a practical and modern addition.
Outside
Iris Cottage is approached through a timber gate, with a garden shed to the side and a pathway leading to the thatched entrance canopy and front door. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and enjoy a desirable south-westerly aspect, offering a good degree of privacy and afternoon sun. A generous paved terrace abuts the rear of the house, creating an inviting space for outdoor dining and relaxation.
The garden has a natural informal feel, with areas of planting, a small pond, and an additional seating area. Steps rise to a further area of lawn, where a second garden shed provides useful storage. Altogether, the grounds offer a peaceful setting, well suited to both entertaining and quiet enjoyment.
