Description - Believed to have been originally built for the local quarry master, Dolphin Cottage is a stunning and beautifully enhanced period house, combining an abundance of original character with a superb level of contemporary refinement. The current owners have thoughtfully updated, extended and reconfigured the property to create a truly exceptional family home, offering generous and beautifully appointed accommodation arranged over two floors and presented throughout in immaculate decorative order.

A welcoming reception hall, with attractive exposed stonework, provides access to the principal living spaces and immediately establishes the character and quality found throughout the house.

The exceptional living room is a particularly impressive space, featuring a handsome fireplace with log-burning stove and flowing seamlessly into the recently constructed garden room. Designed to make the most of the beautiful gardens, this light-filled extension features bi-folding doors opening directly onto the outside terrace and overlooking the delightful walled gardens beyond - creating a superb space for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The stunning Neptune kitchen is beautifully appointed with bespoke dual-tone cabinetry, including a fabulous larder cupboard, complemented by an excellent range of Neff appliances and extensive Silestone work surfaces. A substantial central island provides an excellent focal point together with additional storage and workspace. The kitchen is both highly practical and exceptionally stylish, perfectly suited to modern family living.

There are two further reception rooms, currently arranged as a cosy snug with its own log-burning stove and a formal dining room. Completing the ground floor is a useful study/inner hall, guest cloakroom and well-equipped utility room.

To the first floor are four generous bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with a wealth of built-in storage and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two also benefits from a refitted en-suite shower room, complete with a large walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, fitted with a contemporary white suite.

Outside - The approach to Dolphin Cottage is particularly attractive, with twin timber gates opening onto a sweeping driveway, which extends to the property and provides ample parking as well as access to the large garage, fitted with an electric door.

The walled gardens are a delightful feature of the property, providing an excellent degree of privacy and creating a wonderfully established setting. Expansive flowing lawns are bordered by mature shrubbery beds, while a number of secluded seating areas provide ideal spots in which to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Some of these areas also benefit from lovely views across the neighbouring countryside.

Adjoining the garage is a substantial and highly useful workshop, benefiting from both power and lighting and offering excellent additional space for hobbies, storage or practical use.
