A beautifully proportioned double bedroom featuring a striking double-height window that floods the room with natural light while complementing the vaulted ceiling and exposed beams.

OUTSIDE

Garage & Parking

The property benefits from a single garage with power, lighting and its own consumer unit, together with off-road parking immediately in front. The current owners have also jointly purchased additional land adjacent to the garage, creating a generous gravelled parking area providing space for several further vehicles. An external power supply remains in place where an EV charger was previously installed, making it straightforward for a new owner to reinstate an electric vehicle charging point if desired.

Private Garden

The beautifully maintained tiered cottage garden is a true highlight of Millers Cottage, having been lovingly established over many years with mature trees, colourful borders and an abundance of bee-friendly planting that creates year-round interest. Winding pathways lead through the gardens to lawned areas and thoughtfully positioned seating spaces, while the courtyard patio immediately outside the garden room provides the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or dine alfresco whilst overlooking the surrounding planting.

Shared Garden

Beyond the parking area lies an attractive shared garden, with the current owners enjoying use of a generous lawned section together with access to a raised shared patio enjoying stunning views across the surrounding countryside. Complete with a greenhouse*, it's a wonderful space for gardening, outdoor entertaining or simply relaxing whilst taking in the rural setting. *May be available via separate negotiation.
