The accommodation is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to a choice of reception spaces. The principal sitting room is rich in character, with exposed ceiling beams and an impressive exposed brick fireplace creating a wonderful focal point to the room. A further sitting room provides excellent additional living space and opens into a light-filled garden room, where extensive glazing provides an attractive outlook and connection with the outside.

A separate study provides a dedicated space for those working from home, while the generous dining kitchen forms the heart of the property. Fitted with an extensive range of traditional cabinetry and ample worktop space, the kitchen has plenty of room for a family dining table and retains further character through exposed ceiling timbers and tiled flooring. A separate utility room provides additional storage and practical laundry space.

To the first floor are four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous room with exposed ceiling beams, ample space for furniture and the benefit of an en-suite. Three further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family and guests, complemented by a family bathroom fitted with a bath, wash hand basin and WC.

A particularly valuable addition to Ivy Cottage is the separate self-contained annexe. Providing independent accommodation with its own living space, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom, it is ideally suited to extended family, visiting guests or those looking for additional flexibility away from the main house.

Outside, the property really comes into its own. The equestrian facilities include a substantial paddock, two stables and a dedicated ménage, creating an excellent setup for those wishing to keep horses at home.
