PROPERTY:

Approached from a quiet lane, Primrose Cottage sits discreetly within a private, leafy setting. Its contemporary timber-clad exterior gives little indication of the beautifully crafted interiors beyond, where natural materials, clean architectural lines and bespoke detailing create a calm, welcoming atmosphere.

The covered entrance provides sheltered access and incorporates a useful log store together with practical service areas.

The centrepiece of the home is the superb open-plan living space, thoughtfully arranged to create distinct yet connected kitchen, dining and sitting areas. Vaulted ceilings carefully positioned glazing and soft plastered walls allow natural light to fill the interior throughout the day, while cork flooring, maple joinery and polished micro-cement finishes add warmth and texture. A wood-burning stove creates an inviting focal point, and wide glazed doors open directly onto the terrace, allowing inside and outside spaces to blend effortlessly during the summer months.

All three bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each finished in the same understated style with calming tones, quality materials and cleverly designed built-in storage. One bedroom enjoys direct access onto the terrace through glazed doors.

The family bathroom has been beautifully appointed with both a generous walk-in shower and a deep bath, while a second shower room with WC provides additional convenience for family life or visiting guests.

OUTSIDE

Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, the landscaped courtyard gardens are arranged over several attractive levels, creating a series of private seating and entertaining areas that capture the sun at different times of day. The planting encourages an abundance of wildlife while Mediterranean-style pots soften the contemporary design, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat that is equally suited to everyday living or a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle.

On the lower level, an extremely useful cellar and utility room benefits from its own external entrance together with power, a kitchenette and WC, offering excellent versatility for hobbies, home working or additional storage. A separate garden shed provides further practical storage again with lighting and power.

PARKING

To the front of the property is off-road parking for two to three vehicles, together with a covered parking area.
