Accommodation - As you as you enter this charming cottage you will appreciate the immaculate blend of period character features and contemporary styling. Herringbone oak parquet flooring draws your eye in through the porch and central hall, up to the stairs with a feature runner and panelled walls. Off the hall to the right is a cosy sitting room, thoughtfully orientated around the feature fireplace with a cast-iron log-burning stove set beneath an oak mantle. Panelled walls and exposed beams add to the charm and character, and the front window allows for plenty if natural light and offers an attractive view of the garden.
Across the hall is the dining room, which benefits from a continuation of the herringbone oak parquet flooring. A log-burning stove sits within a small, exposed brick Inglenook fireplace providing an eye-catching focal point, while natural light floods the space through the front and side windows with views of the countryside. There is ample space for a dining table that benefits from the sociable, open flow into the kitchen area beyond. A built-in understairs cupboard in the corner provides essential storage space for coats and shoes. The kitchen has been refitted with an elegant, contemporary suite of bespoke shaker style units and stone worksurfaces and upstands that maximises the space and provides ample storage and preparation space. A ceramic Belfast sink and Stoves range-style oven add to the quintessential cottage feel while integrated appliances include a slimline dishwasher, microwave, and fridge/freezer.
Upstairs the landing gives access to the master bedroom, and the fourth bedroom which is currently used as a dressing room and features a range of fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom comprises a four-piece white suite featuring a separate shower cubicle, bath, WC and a wash hand basin. A further staircase leads up to the second floor where you will find two double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and dormer windows that take in the open countryside views to the front.
Outside - A picture post-card scene awaits as you approach the gate set within the low-level retaining wall. A block paved path flanks the manicured lawn that is bordered by attractive bedding areas and leads to the front door. Just across the lane, you will find the block paved driveway that provides off-road parking for two vehicles. Next to this and enclosed within its own brick wall is a separate, landscaped garden. Here you will find a further extensive lawn with raised timber planters and a block paved path border. A stylish, contemporary dining and seating terrace takes an elevated position in the corner with gradual steps leading down to a lower terrace where the home office/studio is situated. Post and rail fencing allows for open views across the undulating countryside beyond.
Home Office / Studio - Accessed via double doors and with a further picture window to the side there is plenty of natural light to this flexible space, which is ideal for use as an office, studio or gym.
