Description

A light-filled, beautifully styled country home, thoughtfully designed with glorious gardens. Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, this immaculately presented home is full of character and calm.

Stylishly understated with a soft, whitewashed palette, exposed natural materials, and a sense of quiet elegance throughout, it offers a rare blend of country charm and contemporary comfort.

The entrance hall makes an immediate impression—flooded with natural light from a large roof lantern, it is finished with crisp rendered walls and exposed stone detailing. Underfoot, stone flooring adds both practicality and texture, continuing through to the kitchen and living areas. In the hall the built-in shoe bench with coat hooks above, keep the space beautifully organised, while a separate utility area adds further functionality.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen/dining room, a bright and spacious room designed for everyday ease and entertaining. A long run of cabinetry with solid wooden worktops is both stylish and practical, with open shelving above for display and character. The substantial spaces is ideal for a large dining table and chairs, a great place for socialising and family meals. Double doors open directly to the front garden and patio, drawing in natural light and blurring the line between indoors and out.

Flowing through from the kitchen, the sitting room is a warm and welcoming space, with the stone flooring continuing and a feature wood-burning stove providing a cosy focal point—perfect for cooler evenings. It’s not large, but it’s perfectly proportioned for relaxed living.

The principal bedroom is a substantial room with two windows overlooking the garden and surrounding countryside. Both feature deep-set window seats, ideal for soaking up the view or curling up with a book. A smartly designed modern wet room en suite completes the space, combining comfort with a clean, contemporary finish.

The second bedroom mirrors the feel of the principal, also with twin windows and window seats, and is served by a separate family bathroom.

Upstairs, a converted attic room provides a charming additional space - currently configured with twin beds, it features exposed beams, Velux windows for abundant natural light, and useful eaves storage. This flexible room could easily serve as a third bedroom, home office, or occasional guest space.

The property is approached via a private drive, with a five-bar gate opening into a generous gravelled parking area that runs along the side of the house providing ample space for multiple vehicles. An EV charging point is conveniently installed for modern living.

To the rear, the garden is enclosed by Hit & Miss fencing, offering privacy and shelter while maintaining a light, open feel. The garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, laid mainly to gravel with galvanised planters adding structure and greenery. It’s an ideal space for relaxed outdoor dining or container gardening.

To the front, a large patio provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or summer entertaining, leading onto a lawned garden bordered by a variety of established shrubs and flowering plants that add year-round interest and charm. At the far end, a stone wall marks the boundary of the garage, which belongs to the property and offers further storage or parking options. There’s also a useful outdoor storage shed, ideal for tools or garden equipment. Altogether, this is a very pretty, private garden—thoughtfully designed to combine visual appeal with low-maintenance living.
