An extended and beautifully renovated three bedroom semi-detached cottage located on a rural country lane, surrounded by open countryside yet well-positioned for surrounding commuter networks.

Arranged over two floors, the property offers well-balanced and beautifully presented accommodation with retained character features and a good degree of natural light. An entrance porch provides useful coat and boot storage and leads into the kitchen/family room. This is a wonderful space with exquisite stone flooring and plenty of room for living and dining. The kitchen itself boasts a range of contemporary Shaker style wall and base units with quartz work surfaces, a ceramic Belfast sink with a stylish mixer tap and a fabulous Rangemaster dual fuel range with extractor hood over. The kitchen benefits from an integrated dishwasher, an American fridge/freezer and a cold-fill range pot-filler. Off of the kitchen there is a useful cloakroom/WC/utility room. A door leads from the kitchen into the sitting room which is a generous room with an inglenook fireplace complete with a log-burning stove, exposed beams and a pleasant outlook to the front over the well.

Upstairs a light-filled landing serves three double bedrooms and the family shower room which is beautifully finished. The master bedroom is a stunning space with a vaulted ceiling and exposed A-frame as well as fitted wardrobes. The adjoining ensuite shower room has been cleverly configured around the chimney providing an eye-catching feature. This room has been beautifully fitted out and offers a fully-tiled shower with dual controls, integrated blue-tooth speakers and a heated towel rail.

Outside there is a level area of lawn which enjoys full sun from lunch time, alongside a generous patio designed to celebrate the well from which you can still draw water and offers feature lighting. There is a large expanse of gravelled driveway with parking for several vehicles and a useful log-store/shed to the rear.
