Description
Ground Floor
Upon entering, you’re welcomed by a generous sense of space. The first of three reception rooms is to the right, currently used as a family room. This dual-aspect room has Karndean flooring and shutters. Adjacent to the family room is a study, also with Karndean flooring and a side aspect.
At the rear of the home, you'll find a superb open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area. The recently installed, hand-built kitchen features a range of floor and wall-mounted units with Quartz work surfaces, a Villeroy & Boch butler sink, an integrated Bosch dishwasher, and a Neff oven, along with space for a wine fridge and Aga. The worktops extend to create a convenient breakfast bar. A large utility room complements the kitchen, offering a stable door, ample base and eye-level units, timber worktops, a butler sink, tiled splashbacks, and a tiled floor, with space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The dining area, part of the kitchen, is a striking space with French windows and full-height glazed panels overlooking the garden. Flowing from the dining area, the inviting lounge features dual-aspect windows, French doors to the front, and a stunning fireplace with a granite hearth, complete with a wood burner.
First and Second Floor
Bedroom one is a spacious, triple-aspect room that receives abundant natural light. It features a range of built-in wardrobes and a large en-suite shower room with modern sanitaryware. Bedroom two is a generous double with dual aspects overlooking the front and rear of the property, along with additional built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms three and four, also located on the first floor, are both sizable doubles. A family bathroom with contemporary fixtures, including Fired Earth and Samuel Heath products, serves bedrooms two, three, and four.
The second floor includes two more double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. These rooms are supported by a shower room featuring an oversized walk-in shower, WC, and vanity unit.
Gardens
Accessed directly from Church Lane, the property features a shingled driveway that provides generous off-road parking, leading up to the barn doors of the integral garage and the main entrance of May Cottage.
Yew hedging lines the front garden, and a pedestrian gate opens into a formal garden area. Here, you will find shingle paths winding through box hedging, well-stocked flower beds, and a vegetable patch. A York stone terrace offers a relaxed seating area. To the side, a picket fence and pedestrian gate provide convenient access to the rear garden. The rear garden is mostyl laid to lawn with well stocked borders and established hedges.

The property is within walking distance of village amenities including the Eileen Wade primary school which is rated good by Ofsted and the Three Compasses pub/restaurant.
