Beautifully Presented Three-Bedroom Cottage with Spectacular Views in Willoughby Waterleys

Absolutely stunning both inside and out, this beautiful cottage occupies a lovely position in the picturesque village of Willoughby Waterleys, enjoying a spectacular outlook over the surrounding countryside.

The current owners have quite simply gone through this home with a fine-tooth comb, creating a property that has been beautifully cared for, thoughtfully finished and maintained to an exacting standard. There is a wonderful attention to detail throughout, with charm and character complemented by stylish modern touches.

Double gates give access to the main entrance of the cottage which opens into a welcoming hallway, with useful space for coats and shoes and doors leading through to both the lounge and kitchen.

The downstairs WC is conveniently positioned off the hallway and is far from an afterthought, with a modern two-piece suite and attractive, carefully considered décor. There is also a particularly useful utility cupboard, currently housing the washing machine and tumble dryer.

At the front of the property is the impressive lounge, which is a generous room yet somehow manages to feel incredibly cosy. A feature log burner sits within a brick surround, creating a lovely focal point and making this a room that you can imagine enjoying throughout the year.

The lounge leads through into the kitchen, which is another fantastic space and one of the real highlights of the home. Fitted with a range of attractive base and some eye-level units, the kitchen incorporates an integrated fridge freezer, ceramic sink, standing-level oven, microwave, induction hob, extractor fan and dishwasher.

The vaulted ceiling adds to the sense of space while retaining the charm and character of this lovely cottage. There is plenty of room for a dining table as well as a small sofa or armchairs, making this a genuinely sociable room rather than simply a kitchen. Bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden room, creating a lovely connection between the inside and outside spaces.

Upstairs, the property offers three good-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, being a generous dual-aspect room which enjoys plenty of natural light.

The remaining two bedrooms are both well proportioned and offer plenty of flexibility for family, guests, home working or hobbies.

The family bathroom has been beautifully finished with a modern suite and continues the high standard seen throughout the rest of the home. The landing also benefits from a useful cupboard housing the boiler.

And then there is the garden...

The rear garden is spectacular and has clearly been lovingly cared for by the current owners. It is a beautifully established and peaceful space, with a generous patio area, a large lawn which is in fantastic condition, and an abundance of colourful flowers, mature planting, trees and greenery creating a wonderfully private and attractive setting.

At the end of the garden, the views really are something special. The outlook stretches across the surrounding countryside, providing an uninterrupted rural backdrop and a wonderful sense of space. It is the kind of garden where you can sit out with a morning coffee, entertain friends or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.

Adding another dimension to the outside space is the fantastic garden room. This is a genuinely usable extension of the living accommodation and is a space the current owners spend a great deal of time enjoying. With heaters installed, it can be used for much more of the year than you might initially expect, while the glazing allows you to enjoy views across the garden and beyond while staying sheltered from the elements.

Situated in the lovely village of Willoughby Waterleys, this is a home that offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful rural setting with beautiful countryside on the doorstep, while remaining within easy reach of surrounding towns and villages and the wider road network.

The combination of the quality and finish throughout, the generous and versatile accommodation, the exceptional garden, the wonderful garden room and, of course, those spectacular views makes this a truly special cottage.

This is a home that needs to be viewed to fully appreciate everything it has to offer. We expect interest to be high, so early viewing is strongly recommended.
