elegantly designed to flow seamlessly through the heart of the home. Whether used for

and exceptional craftsmanship elevate the kitchen into something far beyond the
ordinary.

Upstairs, a modern landing leads to four generously proportioned bedrooms, all filled
with natural light and finished to a high standard.

The opulent family bathroom is a spa-like sanctuary, boasting twin sinks, a jacuzzi
bathtub, and a steam shower with body jets—all encased in rich, slabbed Italian
marble. The master suite continues the theme of luxury, complete with its own private
en-suite, echoing the exquisite materials and design found throughout the home.
Outside, Drakes Cottage is framed by beautifully kept front and rear gardens, enclosed
by mature hedgerow for ultimate privacy. A detached double garage adds secure
parking and ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles ensure practicality is never
compromised, alongside a secluded workshop for garden maintenance equipment.
