3 bedroom detached house for sale

Hawthorne Cottage offers bright, modern open-plan living alongside a cosy retreat, featuring a stylish kitchen-dining space with garden views, a snug lounge with a log burner, and a south-west facing garden with patios and a charming summer house.

Hawthorne Cottage is a home that balances bright, contemporary open-plan living with the comforting presence of a separate, cosier retreat.

At its heart sits an impressive kitchen-dining space with a sleek central island and wide glazing that draws the garden into everyday life, while the lounge centres around a characterful log burner, perfect for slower evenings. Outside, the south-west facing garden provides a beautiful backdrop with picturesque views, two patio areas for dining and unwinding, and a summer house affectionately known as the ‘Champagne Lounge’, adding a wonderful indoor-outdoor dimension.

Step Inside

Step inside Hawthorne Cottage and the tone is immediately welcoming, with a light, well-presented hallway finished with wood-effect flooring, crisp décor and quality internal doors.

Practical touches are thoughtfully placed, including useful storage, and a natural flow through to the principal living spaces.

To one side, the lounge provides a wonderfully calm retreat, generously proportioned and filled with natural light. This is a room designed for comfort, brought to life by a fabulous log burner set beneath a substantial timber mantel. It’s easy to picture winter evenings here, the fire lit, the world slowed down, and the home doing what it does best: feeling like a sanctuary.

The modern heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen and dining space, and it’s a genuine highlight. Sleek, high-gloss cabinetry and expansive worktops wrap around the room, while the central island creates a natural gathering point for morning coffee, family meals and entertaining. Integrated appliances and clean lines keep everything streamlined, and the ceiling lighting supports a bright, contemporary feel. Crucially, wide glazing connects the space to the garden, creating that sought-after indoor-outdoor lifestyle the owners love, particularly in warmer months when meals and drinks can drift outside with ease.

A separate utility room adds day-to-day practicality, ideal for laundry and household tasks, while a ground-floor WC keeps entertaining and family life effortless. There is also a versatile home office or study, perfectly placed for those working from home, or equally useful as a hobby room, snug, or occasional guest space depending on your needs.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues the sense of space and calm with three genuinely generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering excellent proportions and a lovely outlook, complemented by its own modern en-suite and the added luxury of a walk-in dressing area with extensive fitted wardrobes. Bedroom two is also a comfortable double and benefits from built-in wardrobes, while the third bedroom provides flexible space for family, guests or hobbies, served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

With approximately 1,723 sq ft of accommodation (excluding the outbuilding and summer house), Hawthorne Cottage offers a superb blend of lifestyle, comfort and practicality, in a setting that feels quietly special.

Step Outside

Step outside and Hawthorne Cottage really earns its name, with a setting that feels private, established and wonderfully open to the countryside beyond. The approach immediately sets the tone: a sweeping gravel driveway curves in front of the house, framed by a generous lawn and mature planting that gives a sense of arrival without feeling exposed. There is excellent parking, with useful additional storage and outbuilding space that lends itself to bikes, gardening kit and the practicalities of rural life.

To the rear, the home opens onto a superb south-west facing garden, designed to make the most of the sun and those picturesque views. Set within a plot of approximately a quarter of an acre, the outdoor space has been arranged to offer both structure and freedom, with a substantial paved terrace positioned directly from the house, perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden then gently steps down to an expanse of lawn, with crisp hedging and well-tended borders adding definition, while mature trees and established boundaries provide privacy and a soft, natural backdrop.

A second patio area sits further down the garden, offering a different mood entirely, a quieter place for an evening drink as the light drops across the fields. And then there’s the summerhouse, affectionately known as the ‘Champagne Lounge’, which adds a brilliant indoor-outdoor dimension: a dedicated retreat for hosting, reading, hobbies or simply escaping with a view, whatever the weather decides to do.

With its combination of manicured space, multiple seating areas and far-reaching rural outlook, the outside of Hawthorne Cottage isn’t just “garden”, it’s a lifestyle, and one that changes beautifully with the seasons.
