With its charming façade, Abbots Wood is an appealing cottage-style home offering an enchanting and unique living environment, with a beautiful stained-glass panel adorning the entrance porch. Inside, the spacious reception hall is flooded with natural light courtesy of a ceiling lantern flooding the room with natural light. Ground floor rooms comprise an elegant drawing room where the warming ambience of a gas log fire set in a stone, inglenook fireplace can be enjoyed; a formal dining room providing the perfect setting to host family and friends, which leads into the light-filled Sun room. A separate sitting room offers a snug spot to relax and a study area just beyond provides a tucked-away space for home-workers. The wall of glazing with French doors in the pretty kitchen/breakfast room offers pleasing views and a seamless transition to the garden. With fittings of bespoke wood units, electric range cooker, stone worktops and limestone flooring the kitchen features a inset butlers sink and a length of units and rustic timber posts which create a subtle divide within the space. A true country cottage kitchen.

Bedroom accommodation is arranged over the lower and upper levels, with a bedroom on the ground floor being adjacent to a shower room with vintage-inspired fittings. On the first floor, there are two further bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom which features a free-standing, roll-top tub and a Victorian basin stand.

A stone wall with decorative wrought-iron inset fronts the lane, with five-bar gates opening onto a pretty, walled courtyard garden. Adorned with specimen trees, mature shrubs, perennial plants and a water feature, this sunny setting enjoys the south-easterly aspect and offers a tranquil spot to sit and dine. Tucked into the corner of the garden, a summer house offers a sheltered refuge to relax in the garden whatever the weather. Parking spaces to the front.
