The Property
Occupying a private position on the approach into sought-after Medburn, Apple Cottage is a substantial four-bedroom home set within approximately 0.45 acres, with secure walled gardens and an open outlook towards the surrounding countryside. Extensively refurbished within the last 12 months, the house offers an impressive degree of space and flexibility, with the principal living accommodation and three en-suite bedrooms arranged across the ground floor, complemented by a private principal suite above.

The accommodation is introduced by an entrance porch and generous central hall, with the main reception rooms occupying one side of the house. The sitting room is a comfortable and well-proportioned space, distinguished by decorative cornicing, a feature fireplace and windows on two sides.

Alongside, the separate dining room provides a generous setting for entertaining, with direct access to the garden and an easy connection to the kitchen. Recently updated as part of the wider refurbishment, the kitchen is fitted with understated Shaker-style cabinetry, pale work surfaces and AEG appliances. A substantial central dining table sits comfortably within the room, while the generous run of cabinetry provides excellent preparation and storage space without compromising its sense of openness.

Double doors lead into the sun room, where extensive glazing takes full advantage of the garden setting. There is room for both relaxed seating and informal dining, while a glazed door opens directly onto the lawn. Its position immediately beyond the kitchen makes this an especially useful everyday living space, with the garden forming a constant backdrop.

One of Apple Cottage’s particular strengths is the versatility afforded by its predominantly single-storey arrangement. Three bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, each with its own en-suite facilities, providing excellent accommodation for family and guests while also making the house particularly well suited to buyers looking for substantial lateral living. A separate office creates a dedicated space for working from home and completes this part of the ground floor alongside a guest WC.

The principal suite occupies the first floor and feels pleasantly removed from the remainder of the accommodation. The bedroom is notably generous, with windows drawing in plenty of natural light and taking in views towards the surrounding countryside. The scale of the room allows ample space for wardrobes and additional bedroom furniture, while the sloping roofline and carefully considered decorative treatment give the room an individual character. The adjoining en-suite is equally generous, incorporating a freestanding bath and separate shower.

Externally
Apple Cottage sits within approximately 0.45 acres, with privacy and a particularly sunny aspect being defining features of its setting. Double electric gates open onto a substantial driveway, providing generous parking and access to the integral double garage.

The gardens extend around the house, with the front enjoying a south-westerly aspect and the side and rear gardens facing west, allowing them to benefit from excellent levels of sunshine throughout the afternoon and into the evening. To the rear, the garden is completely enclosed and secure, with a walled boundary creating a particularly private environment. Broad expanses of lawn are framed by mature trees and established planting, while the open setting affords attractive views towards the surrounding countryside.

A dedicated seating area provides a sheltered setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, complemented by further paved areas and useful garden storage. The scale of the approximately 0.45-acre plot gives the house considerable breathing space and, subject to the necessary consents, scope for further extension should a future owner wish to increase the accommodation.
