Quote Ref: DP0213 when requesting further details of this truly stunning Grade II listed flint cottage, enjoying breathtaking countryside views to both the front and rear, a beautifully arranged garden and a peaceful rural setting that is hard to beat.

This is a home that immediately captures your attention, full of charm, character and warmth, yet thoughtfully arranged to suit modern living.

The property forms part of an attractive pair of back-to-back flint cottages, designed in such a way that you barely notice your neighbour, allowing you to fully enjoy the sense of privacy and tranquillity on offer.

Accommodation: 

You enter via a composite stable door into a welcoming entrance hallway, finished with a characterful brick paved floor. From here, doors lead through to the main living spaces, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful storage cupboards neatly tucked away.

To the rear of the home sits the real heart of the property, a simply stunning kitchen/dining space, flooded with natural light and enjoying uninterrupted views across the garden and countryside beyond. The kitchen itself is beautifully fitted in a classic country style with solid wood work surfaces, a ceramic sink, F. Bertazzoni range cooker and integrated appliances. A central island with granite worktop and breakfast bar provides both practicality and a social focal point, whilst the travertine tiled floor flows seamlessly through to the dining area, where there is ample space for a large table, perfect for entertaining family and friends.

The living room is equally impressive, forming part of the original cottage and rich in character, with a striking inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove. Dual aspect windows and a door to the front allow plenty of natural light and further enhance the connection to the surrounding countryside.

A ground floor cloakroom completes the downstairs accommodation.

On the first floor, the property continues to impress with three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys those stunning front-facing views and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, all presented in keeping with the character of the home.

 
Outside:

The outside space is a real highlight and has clearly been designed with enjoyment and entertaining in mind.

To the front, a shingle area leading to the driveway that provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles and sets the tone for what lies beyond. To the rear and side, the gardens unfold beautifully, offering a variety of spaces to relax, entertain and take in the surrounding countryside.

A paved patio sits directly behind the property, the perfect spot to enjoy evening sunsets , whilst a winding brick pathway leads you through lawned areas, established planting and climbing rose and honeysuckle borders.

Further seating areas, including a semi-circular patio and an outdoor kitchen space, create fantastic opportunities for al fresco dining and social gatherings.

There are also two excellent outbuildings, including a versatile timber-framed games room/office, ideal for working from home or additional living space, along with a further workshop/storage building.

The whole garden is enclosed by a combination of fencing and hedging, offering a high degree of privacy and a true sense of escape.

 
Our take:
A rare opportunity to acquire a character home of real quality, combining period charm, modern comforts and exceptional outdoor space — all set within a peaceful countryside position with far-reaching views.
