Approaching the property, the attractive stone and brick façade immediately sets the tone, with traditional timber-framed windows and a painted front door adding to its cottage charm.

Stepping through the front door, you enter directly into the living room, a wonderfully characterful space featuring exposed timber ceiling beams, natural stone flooring and a striking stone fireplace housing a decorative wood-burning stove (feature only and not available for use). The combination of exposed stonework, white painted walls and dark timber detailing creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. A front-facing window allows natural light into the room, while a useful built-in wooden cupboard provides additional storage. An attractive timber staircase rises to the first floor.

An opening leads through to the kitchen, which continues the cottage's rustic styling with natural stone flooring, exposed brickwork and timber ceiling beams. The kitchen is fitted with a range of light wood-effect wall and base units, complemented by speckled worktops and colourful blue mosaic tiled splashbacks. Pale blue painted walls provide a pleasant contrast to the natural materials, while a stainless steel sink sits beneath a timber-framed window overlooking the courtyard. Recessed ceiling spotlights provide additional illumination, and a glazed door opens directly onto the outside space. There is provision for a washing machine, oven, hob and fridge freezer, all of which will need to be supplied by the incoming tenant.

Returning to the living room, the wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where the bedroom enjoys an abundance of character. Exposed brick and stone walls, dark timber ceiling beams and neutral carpeting create a distinctive and cosy atmosphere. A traditional timber-framed window provides natural light, while the room offers space for a bed and essential bedroom furniture.

Leading off the bedroom is a useful dressing area, featuring exposed stone walls and neutral carpeting. This additional space provides a practical area for clothing storage and helps make the most of the cottage's compact proportions.

The first-floor shower room is fitted with a white suite comprising a corner shower enclosure, pedestal wash basin and WC. White wall tiles are complemented by warm terracotta and cream accent tiles, while exposed stonework surrounding the timber-framed window continues the property's traditional character. A chrome heated towel rail and tiled flooring complete the room.

Outside, the cottage benefits from a private, enclosed courtyard garden, offering a surprisingly generous outdoor space for a property of this size.
