Tucked away along a peaceful country lane and surrounded by glorious rolling countryside, this detached period cottage offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and timeless character.

Description

Dating from 1854 this unlisted period home has been beautifully updated and renovated to create a turnkey ready property whilst retaining the period character. From the front door is the generous entrance hall that leads to the dual aspect living room with a fantastic central wood burner that can be enjoyed by both this room and the neighbouring kitchen/breakfast room.

The spacious kitchen/diner is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Complete with a Rayburn, ample dining space, and French doors opening onto the rear terrace, it forms the heart of the home and a wonderful place to gather.

A spacious utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete this floor.

On the first floor the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes as well as an en suite family bathroom. There are two further bedrooms as well as the family bathroom.

Outside

Approaching the property, parking is conveniently located to the left, with the cottage itself positioned to the right. Steps lead down to a pretty pathway guiding you to the front door, while a side gate provides access to the rear garden. The garden is a true haven. An elevated terrace sits adjacent to the house—perfect for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The main garden is laid to lawn and framed by mature shrubs, with a small brook adding to the charm. Beyond this lies an additional garden area bordered by tall trees, offering privacy and a beautiful natural backdrop. A raised decking area is the perfect sundowners spot. A useful storage shed and greenhouse complete the outside while parking is plentiful opposite the house.
