Vine Cottage, Hall Road

Entering the property through the newly fitted front door, we step into a spacious entrance lobby and hallway, a welcoming space designed for everyday practicality and comfort. Herringbone flooring stretches underfoot, adding a subtle elegance, while the layout provides the perfect spot to kick off boots after a country walk or a morning spent in the garden. Stairs rise gracefully to the first floor, and doors open to two inviting reception rooms.

To the left, the sitting room is bathed in natural light from a large front-facing window, creating an airy and relaxed atmosphere. A full wall of red brick forms the fireplace, where a wood-burning stove serves as a warm and cosy focal point, ideal for quiet evenings at home. Opposite, the dining room mirrors this sense of calm, with its own fireplace anchoring the space and a window that frames views of the front garden. A connecting door leads seamlessly into the kitchen, creating an ideal flow for entertaining or family living.

The kitchen itself is a beautiful blend of contemporary design and timeless charm. Newly refitted, it features a matching range of wall and base units set against timber-effect flooring and work surfaces. A window above the ceramic sink captures views over the garden and the meadow beyond, bringing a sense of the outdoors in. Equipped with a fitted oven and hob, the space flows effortlessly into a preparation area, which in turn leads to the laundry/utility room. Here, matching units and a charming butler sink combine practicality with style. From the rear entrance lobby, additional storage is available, and a door opens directly to the garden. The nearby bathroom has been thoughtfully refitted, featuring a modern bath, WC, and a feature basin set within a bespoke vanity unit.

Ascending to the first floor, the landing leads to the property’s bedrooms. To the left, the master suite mirrors the sitting room below, offering comfort and privacy, along with a newly fitted en-suite shower room, complete with a large shower cubicle, modern WC, and wash basin. Across the hall, the second double bedroom enjoys front-facing views and versatile access to the third bedroom and a dressing/study space. Bedroom three is a generous single with garden views, while the dressing room/study, currently used as a nursery, takes in the meadow vista to the side, making the upper floor adaptable for growing families.

Externally, the property’s lifestyle appeal continues. Situated on Hall Road, a quiet no-through street, the driveway accommodates parking for over four vehicles and leads to an oversized single garage with barn-style doors. From here, the first glimpses of the beck and surrounding meadows draw the eye, setting the tone for the tranquillity of the gardens. A low brick wall frames the front garden, where a path leads to the entrance, and Wisteria drapes gracefully across the cottage façade. Lawns and planted cottage borders create an inviting frontage.

At the rear, the garden truly comes into its own. Meandering paths lead through colour-filled beds to a garden and wood shed, opening onto a charming seating area at the foot of the lawn. From any point, the view stretches over the beck to the meadows beyond, where horses graze, and established trees provide shaded retreats for relaxation or reflection. The space offers both privacy and a profound sense of connection to nature, making it a haven for outdoor enjoyment.
