A wonderfully characterful attached cottage, set in the heart of Eastington village and enjoying outstanding open views across the neighbouring countryside. Sympathetically modernised throughout, the property blends contemporary family living with the warmth and individuality of a traditional cottage, with bespoke finishes, generous accommodation and a wonderful connection to the gardens.

Approached along a quiet country lane, the cottage is set beyond a private driveway, with enclosed gardens creating a charming first impression as the pathway leads through the garden gate to the front entrance. A striking red door, set beneath a pitched canopy, opens into a welcoming porch and through to the L-shaped entrance hall, where oak flooring continues through much of the ground floor. From here, doors lead to the sitting room, fitted dining kitchen, family room and cloakroom/utility room, with the layout flowing beautifully between each space.

The fitted dining kitchen is a real centrepiece, reflecting the care and quality of the improvements made by the current owners. Bespoke Riley James cabinetry combines practical storage with striking design, including floor-to-ceiling units, a corner larder cupboard and a rich russet finish that brings warmth and depth to the room. Mirostone worktops sit beautifully alongside the cabinetry, while the central island offers undercounter storage, preparation space and informal seating. Integral appliances include a double oven, halogen hob, dishwasher and American fridge freezer, all neatly incorporated within the design. A window above the sink draws in natural light and looks towards the garden. Flowing naturally from the kitchen, the dining/family area provides a relaxed and versatile space for everyday family life and informal entertaining, with room for dining and comfortable seating. Oak flooring continues through, while French doors open directly onto the south-facing rear garden, creating an easy connection between inside and out.

Located off the entrance hall, the cloakroom/utility room has been thoughtfully arranged with modern fittings and bespoke cabinetry in a stunning mocha tone. Tall units provide excellent storage, including laundry storage, and there is space for appliances. The cloakroom itself is smartly finished with a low flush WC, wash basin and window.

The sitting room is wonderfully inviting and filled with natural light from both the front and rear. Views across the grounds enhance the calm and open feel of the room, while a fireplace with timber mantel and log-burner inset takes centre stage, creating a lovely focal point for winter evenings and family gatherings. Generous proportions allow ample space for relaxing, while French doors to either side connect beautifully with the outside.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with a walk-in airing cupboard providing useful linen storage.

The master bedroom is a truly charming and beautifully designed suite, centred around the wonderful outlook across open fields. French doors open to a Juliet balcony, drawing in natural light and creating a lovely sense of calm from the moment you wake. The room has been thoughtfully arranged with the bed positioned centrally, complemented by a bespoke headboard with integrated bedside storage and further cabinetry around and behind the bed. A full wall of fitted wardrobes and drawers, finished in soft sage green with warm timber handles, provides excellent storage while continuing the restful feel of the room. The adjoining en-suite is beautifully appointed, with bespoke fitted cabinets incorporating the wash basin and concealed low flush WC, together with a panelled bath, shower fittings, marble-effect wall panels, glazed screen, chrome heated towel rail and window.

Bedroom two is a bright, well-proportioned double room with a dual-aspect outlook and lovely countryside views, while bedroom three is another charming double, featuring a stone mantel and inset fireplace with views across neighbouring fields and established trees. Each bedroom enjoys excellent natural light, giving the first floor a calm and uplifting feel. The family bathroom has been finished to a high standard, with a panelled bath, rainfall and handheld shower fittings, glazed screen and marble-effect wall panels. Bespoke cabinetry in a deep navy/grey tone provides generous storage and incorporates the WC and wash basin, with a chrome heated towel rail and window adding further practicality and light.

This is a truly delightful cottage, beautifully balancing period charm with modern comfort and thoughtful design. With generous living spaces, bespoke finishes, magical gardens and far-reaching countryside views, it offers a wonderfully inviting home in a highly sought-after village setting.

The outside space is a particularly attractive feature of the property, beautifully arranged to make the most of its village setting, southerly aspect and wonderful outlook across neighbouring countryside.

Approached from the lane, the property opens onto a substantial private driveway, providing ample off-road parking for three to four vehicles. Positioned beside the parking area is a detached workshop/garage, offering excellent space for storage, hobbies, tools or practical everyday use.

The parking area is separated from the main garden by timber fencing, with gated access leading into the enclosed grounds. Gravelled pathways weave gently through the garden, with neatly defined lawned areas edged by timber sleepers and lavender planting adding colour, softness and seasonal fragrance.

Immediately beside the cottage, broad gravelled areas provide natural spaces for outdoor seating and dining, perfectly placed to enjoy the sunshine, peaceful surroundings and open outlook. The charming red entrance door, together with French doors from both the sitting room and dining family room, creates a lovely connection between the house and garden, allowing the outside space to be enjoyed with ease during the warmer months.

Set within the garden is a detached timber home office/studio with glazed double doors and electric heating. Positioned away from the main house, it provides a quiet and separate place to work, while also lending itself beautifully to use as a studio, gym, hobby room or peaceful retreat.

The garden is enclosed by timber fencing and enjoys a lovely sense of privacy, while still feeling wonderfully open. Beyond the boundary, the outlook stretches across neighbouring fields, mature trees and open pasture, bringing a calm countryside atmosphere to this charming village cottage
