The Property
This charming character cottage enjoys a truly idyllic rural setting, surrounded by open countryside and farmland. Sympathetically enhanced by the current owners, it now features a stylish contemporary ground-floor extension that blends period charm with modern living to create a beautifully balanced home.
A light-filled entrance hall leads into a stunning open-plan living space, where a wood-burning stove forms an attractive focal point. Expansive bi-fold doors span the rear elevation, flooding the room with natural light and creating a seamless connection to the beautifully maintained gardens beyond.
The original part of the cottage accommodates a more formal sitting room and a well-appointed kitchen fitted with a range of matching units, integrated cooking appliances, and a fridge-freezer. The former entrance has been thoughtfully repurposed as a home office, while a utility room and ground-floor cloakroom add further practicality.
The ground floor also hosts a superb principal bedroom suite, enjoying lovely garden views and benefiting from a luxurious ensuite shower room. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms and a generous single bedroom, all served by a family bathroom fitted with both a bath and separate shower cubicle.
