4 bedroom end of terrace house to rent

Approached via Peasley Lane, Rickyard Cottage immediately sets the tone with a wonderful rural outlook – open fields and resident horses lining the driveway as you arrive. Inside, the home offers an excellent blend of character, space and flexibility, arranged over two floors with generous outdoor space.

The front door opens into a wide entrance hall, with an excellent deep storage cupboard ideal for coats, boots and everyday essentials (currently housing a fridge/freezer). From here, the property opens into a striking vaulted, double-aspect sitting room with warm wooden flooring, a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove, and a superb sense of light and volume. The living space sits open-plan to the kitchen, which is fitted with a good range of wall and base units and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, Miele washing machine and dishwasher.

Two sets of patio doors open directly out to a paved terrace which wraps around the cottage, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxing. The sitting room also continues neatly beneath the staircase, forming a versatile additional area that works perfectly as a snug, playroom or home office.

A real highlight is the ground-floor principal suite, comprising a generous bedroom with doors onto its own private patio, a superb walk-in wardrobe, and a stylish en-suite shower room with shower, WC and basin. Also on the ground floor is a well-proportioned family bathroom, finished with a white suite and tiling, with a shower over the bath, basin and WC.

Upstairs is a single, generous first-floor landing with space for a sofa, reading chair or desk, plus a large storage cupboard, leading to three further bedrooms. There are two comfortable double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and a further single bedroom set within the eaves, ideal as a child’s room, nursery or study.

Outside, the wraparound patio is bordered by mature shrubs and opens onto a good-sized lawn, enclosed by fencing for privacy. The property also benefits from two allocated parking spaces and ample additional parking for visitors and guests.

Further benefits include electric heating, the wood-burning stove, and the connectivity information provided.
