With around 1,094 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over two floors, this freehold home is perfectly suited to buyers seeking a rural setting with a practical, stylish interior. High-quality finishes, an open-plan layout, and countryside views combine to make Ivy Cottage a standout home for both everyday living and entertaining.
Ground Floor
The ground floor is centred around a large, open-plan reception and dining room, extending the full depth of the property. This versatile living space is finished with oak flooring and recessed ceiling lighting, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Expansive bi-fold doors span the rear elevation, opening directly onto a paved terrace and the garden beyond. With its south-facing orientation, the room enjoys excellent natural light throughout the day and uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside.
At one end of the space, the kitchen is arranged in a practical U-shaped layout, designed with muted sage green cabinetry, solid wood worktops, and stone tiled flooring. Integrated Bosch appliances, including oven, hob and fridge/freezer, are seamlessly incorporated. The understated, contemporary design ensures a timeless finish, while offering the functionality expected of a modern home.
Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom/WC, ideally placed for guests and family use, together with a welcoming entrance area that leads to the central staircase.
First Floor
The staircase, finished with painted balustrades and natural timber steps, rises to a light and airy first floor. Here, two well-proportioned double bedrooms are positioned at either side of the landing, each with vaulted ceilings and Velux rooflights. Neutral finishes and generous proportions ensure adaptable spaces, equally suited as principal and guest bedrooms.
The family bathroom is stylishly appointed with a modern three-piece suite. A panelled bath with overhead rainfall shower is paired with a sleek vanity unit and WC, while metro-style wall tiles and patterned flooring create a smart, contemporary finish. Rooflights above bring additional light to the space, adding to the sense of comfort and quality.
