If you have yearned for an idyllic rural retreat, then Corner Cottage may be the perfect abode for you. Refurbished and extended, while retaining all the charm and splendour of its Victorian heritage, your next dream home is waiting, ready for you to move into.

Accommodation - Step through the canopied porch and front door, and prepare to have your breath taken, by the level of love, care and attention vested in this simply stunning Grade II Listed cottage.

Stairs rise invitingly to your left while ahead of you is a handy guest cloakroom re-fitted with a fresh, contemporary suite. The sitting room at the front feels spacious, yet cosy with high ceilings, wooden floorboards, secondary glazed mullion windows and a contemporary log-burning stove which provides the perfect focal point. Behind a fitted curtain, you will find an extremely useful space for storage, fashioned from what was once the original cold-store pantry.

Stepping back through the hall you will find the show-stopping open plan dining kitchen and adjoining garden room with bi-fold doors leading to the garden. The kitchen area has been re-fitted with an extensive range of fitted wall and base units providing ample storage with plenty of work surface space above. Integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer, Bosch double oven, Neff induction hob and Siemens dishwasher. The original rear window and door apertures have been thoughtfully retained allowing for a combined, sociable space with the garden room. The dining area makes clever use of the nook to the right hand side, while the garden room offers a bright, sunny space that enjoys a view of the garden through the bi-fold doors. Off to the corner is handy utility/boot room with fitted storage units, space for a further fridge-freezer and space for appliances. A stable-style door leads out to the garden and makes this the perfect spot for you to return to from local muddy walks. Noticeably, natural light floods the kitchen, dining, garden room and utility room through cleverly positioned skylights.

As you head upstairs once again, you'll marvel at the character and detail, with the vaulted ceiling, oak staircase, and arched alcove. Both bedrooms feel generous in size with vaulted ceilings. The main bedroom to the front enjoys a view of the leafy lane beyond, while the rear bedroom takes in the stable yard and countryside view to the rear. The bathroom has been re-fitted to provide a contemporary suite comprising corner bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, and wash hand basin within a vanity unit. The vaulted ceiling adds to the charm.

Outside - The attractive walled front garden invites and, indeed, entices you to explore further. Follow the gravelled path round the corner to the delightful, canopied front door. The rear easterly facing rear garden has been landscaped to create a low-maintenance space ideal for entertaining. Gated access to the rear leads to the block paved driveway with space for two vehicles and the timber framed shed. (Your neighbours have pedestrian right of way from their garden gate across the drive).
