Description
Ground Floor
The cottage opens into a welcoming and generously proportioned sitting room, where a deep bay window, exposed brick chimney breast, and inset wood-burning stove immediately set the tone for this stylish yet cosy home.
This space opens seamlessly into the dining area, where French doors provide garden views and access to the rear patio.
At the rear of the home lies the impressive kitchen, designed in a traditional shaker style with a contemporary finish. Painted cabinetry in slate grey is paired with solid oak worktops and brushed brass handles. A ceramic butler sink sits beneath a window overlooking the garden, while integrated appliances, a wine fridge, and ample storage meet every practical need. Pale stone-effect floor tiles finish the space beautifully.
Beyond the kitchen is a rear lobby leading to a thoughtfully designed family bathroom. This space includes a full-size bath with rainfall shower over and glass screen, metro-tiled walls, a contemporary basin and vanity unit, open shelving.
First Floor
Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms continue the home's warm and elegant aesthetic. The principal bedroom, located at the front of the house, is bright and tranquil, featuring a deep-set window with fitted shutters, pale carpet, and ample space for wardrobes or dressing furniture. The second bedroom, set to the rear, offers a peaceful outlook over the garden and is equally appealing—ideal as a guest room, nursery, or home office. Both rooms benefit from a cohesive colour palette, quality finishes, and excellent natural light.
Garden
The rear garden is surprisingly generous and thoughtfully arranged. A sandstone patio provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining or morning coffee, framed by mature trees and raised beds. The lawn stretches to the far boundary where a beautiful painted timber garden studio. A discreet storage shed is attached to the side.
To the front, the cottage presents a traditional stone façade with a painted cottage door and sash-style windows, perfectly in keeping with the surrounding village architecture.
