The Property
The ground floor unfolds with an immediate sense of character and space. The sitting room is the heart of the home, featuring a striking brick inglenook fireplace with a log-burning stove, exposed beams and a bay window with a built-in seat that looks out across the gardens. The natural warmth of the timber detailing and the abundance of natural light create a welcoming atmosphere.
The central dining room flows seamlessly between the front and rear of the house, offering space for formal occasions while remaining versatile enough for everyday family use. Beyond lies the kitchen and breakfast room, newly fitted with bespoke cabinetry and oak worktops. A central island provides a practical and stylish focal point, while the stone flooring, exposed beams, and high-quality appliances complete the blend of modern convenience and traditional design.
A family or garden room opens directly to the patio and grounds beyond. With French doors, stone flooring, and exposed timbers, this space seamlessly connects the home to the outdoors, making it ideal for family life or entertaining. All of the downstairs benefits from underfloor heating.
The first floor continues the balance of period character and modern design. The principal bedroom is generous in size, with exposed beams and painted finishes creating a restful and timeless atmosphere. This is supported by an en suite shower room with contemporary sanitaryware. Two further double bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, each retaining the charm of the original cottage.
The bathroom is a particular highlight. Thoughtfully updated, it features a freestanding roll-top bath, a separate shower, and elegant finishes including herringbone flooring and panelled walls. Original beams and a feature wall add depth and character, creating a room that feels both luxurious and in keeping with the age of the property.
