Description
Approaching via an oak framed storm porch into the entrance hall, the hall sets the tone for Lyas Cottage, with a flagstone floor and an attractive oak staircase rising to the upper floors with built in storage beneath.
From here, to the left are two versatile reception rooms and a ground floor cloakroom, whilst to the right the family sitting room, with the kitchen/dining room beyond that.
Of the two versatile additional rooms, one of which benefits from a dual aspect and is currently being used as a games room but could serve as a handy fifth double bedroom, snug or playroom, whilst the other would make an ideal home office for those working from home.
The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home and provides fantastic space for both dining and entertaining with space for a large table whilst the opening from the sitting room provides a great flow into the main living space.
The kitchen features a vaulted ceiling, exposed oak beams and red brick detailing, together with a built-in gas range cooker, a comprehensive range of painted kitchen cabinetry and ample space for further appliances.
French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a natural connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The sitting room provides a welcoming place to relax, with a feature stone fireplace with inset log burner forming the focal point, with exposed beams and masonry providing character and interest. A dual aspect to either side provide plenty of natural light.
A generous utility room, located just off the kitchen offers useful additional storage and plumbing for laundry appliances, while a ground-floor cloakroom adds further practicality.
Underfloor heating throughout the ground and first floors provides a comfortable finish to the principal living accommodation.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a particularly attractive room, combining character features and practicality including stripped and varnished wooden flooring, coupled with exposed brickwork and beams, along with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The ensuite bathroom includes a panel bath with shower over, w/c and ceramic counter-top sink with tiled surround.
Two further bedrooms, both generous doubles, along with a spacious family bathroom comprising a bath, pedestal wash basin and w/c, as well as an airing cupboard, complete this level.
The second floor provides a fourth double bedroom and built in storage, offering a degree of separation from the main sleeping accommodation and making it ideal for older children, guests or those seeking a private retreat.
Outside
Lyas Cottage occupies a convenient position within the village, with attractive cobbled off-road parking for two to three vehicles.
The enclosed side and rear gardens provide a pleasant and private setting for outdoor entertaining, family activities and everyday enjoyment.
The rear garden is laid predominantly to lawn, with established flower beds around the boundaries offering scope for keen gardeners. A paved patio sits directly outside the kitchen/breakfast room, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. Of particular note is how private the garden is.
With its characterful accommodation, flexible layout and enclosed, private gardens, Lyas Cottage offers a well-balanced village home within walking distance of the facilities, primary school and amenities of this active, community-minded village.

A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help.
Bridging loans – We can help.
