Peppers Cottage, School Lane, /Caunton, NG23 6AA

This beautifully presented and thoughtfully improved cottage has been lovingly enhanced to preserve its original character while providing the comforts of modern living. Set within a delightful English-style cottage garden, the property also benefits from a detached garage and private driveway, offering both convenience and practicality.

A welcoming porch opens into an elegant entrance hallway, featuring attractive wall panelling that sets the tone for the quality and style found throughout the home. The ground floor accommodation includes a useful cloakroom with storage, a well-proportioned study ideal for home working, and a stylish Shaker-style kitchen fitted with an excellent range of integrated appliances. From here, doors lead into a bright and inviting garden room, perfectly positioned to enjoy views over the garden and providing an ideal space for dining or relaxation.

The cosy living room is a particular highlight, featuring a cast-iron multifuel stove, bespoke built-in cabinetry and shelving, and engineered oak flooring, creating a warm and welcoming space to unwind.

To the first floor, the landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully finished contemporary bathroom, combining tasteful design with everyday practicality.

Outside, the property enjoys a low-maintenance front garden and a block-paved driveway leading to the detached brick-built garage. Gated access opens to the charming rear garden, which features a sunken paved patio, lawns with raised brick borders, established planting, a raised pond, brick-built beds, a garden shed and a substantial log store — all combining to create a peaceful and private outdoor retreat.
