A pretty, EXTENDED cottage in a SOUGHT-AFTER village setting, with far-reaching VIEWS over open fields and a wonderful sense of space both inside and out.

DESCRIPTION
Wayside Cottage has the charm and individuality you hope to find in a village home, while its thoughtful extension gives it the space needed for modern family life. The pretty brick and tile exterior sits beautifully within its surroundings, with views across open fields. There is an immediate sense of warmth and character, with a layout that feels comfortable, welcoming and easy to live in.
At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/dining/family room, creating a sociable space where everyday life naturally comes together. The kitchen has a contemporary feel, while the exposed beams and warm flooring retain a connection to the cottage's character. There is plenty of room for dining and relaxing, making this a particularly versatile space for family time, entertaining friends or simply enjoying the outlook. A separate reception room provides additional living space and gives the house a comfortable balance between open-plan living and quieter areas.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, providing flexibility for a family, visiting guests or those wanting a home office. The bedrooms are complemented by a ground floor family bathroom and a separate shower room. The accommodation feels well proportioned, with the cottage character continuing upstairs while offering the flexibility expected of a modern home.

OUTSIDE
The enclosed garden provides a private and manageable space to enjoy the rural surroundings, with views over the neighbouring fields reinforcing the property's countryside feel. Driveway parking adds everyday convenience, while the village setting brings the opportunity to become part of a friendly local community. It is this combination of character, space, open views and village life that gives Wayside Cottage its particular appeal — a home that feels connected to the countryside without sacrificing practicality.
