Cues Lane, Bishopstone, SN6

“Bishopstone is a beautiful village with The Royal Oak, an award winning pub, at the heart of the community! The first time we stepped foot in there, we loved it and wanted to live there! The people are really friendly and I've popped up there before when I've run out of something for my Sunday roast!”

Sometimes you come across a home that simply stands out from the rest, and this beautiful four-bedroom cottage in Bishopstone is one that does just that.

They say first impressions count…with a traditional thatched roof and wishing well in the front garden, we’re off to a great start. 

As you walk in, it immediately feels like home. On the right you’ll find the current owners’ favourite place, the generous kitchen-diner. It’s beautifully bright with wooden effect storage cupboards and black worktops. A central island makes the perfect spot, whether you want to enjoy a morning coffee or catch up with friends, it has you covered. 

The dining area has impressive full length windows and French doors that open out onto the garden. If you like a slow start to the day, then this is the place to do it. If you’re lucky you may even spot some wildlife, it’s not uncommon to spot rabbits, or a deer or two. Dreamy. 

Let’s talk about the main living area. Exposed beams, brickwork and a fireplace really come together to create a space that’s cosy and full of personality. Perhaps you want somewhere to unwind at the end of a long day or an extra reception space? The snug room works for both.

If you’re someone who works from home then there’s a further reception room. Following the same theme as the rest of the home, it would make an elegant study space.  

Up on the first floor there are four bedrooms, all of which are proper doubles, and two with exposed beams. 

The family bathroom has a whimsical feel with a bath, a traditional basin, and a low window which allows for plenty of natural light. 

What makes this one our pick of the bunch? Well, everything really, but the immaculately presented rear garden steals the show. Patio makes up the first tier with lots of space for your garden furniture, whilst the second tier is entirely made up of lawn. With mature trees and planting around the borders, you’re not short on privacy either. There are so many little nooks to be enjoyed and made the most of, it’s landscaped with entertainment in mind. Barbeque? Be rude not to. 

You’re in a peachy spot with green spaces all around and picturesque walking routes right on your doorstep. The village of Bishopstone has a peaceful village feel, with local award winning pub and farm shop, the Royal Oak, only a short walk away. Not that you’d ever want to leave this idyllic spot, but if you did need to, you’d be on the M4 in just over 10 minutes. 

A home bursting with character and potential. Peachy.
