The cottage itself is accessed via a sweeping pathway leading to the front door.
Once inside, the spacious layout offers flexible family living and briefly comprises: A reception hall with exposed timber beams, a sitting room with beams and a feature cast iron stove, a dual-aspect lounge with vaulted ceiling and open fire, a country-style kitchen/diner, utility room, hallway giving access to a ground floor bathroom suite with a separate WC, and an impressive dual-aspect living room boasting high vaulted ceilings, skylights, a feature fireplace, and a range of fitted furniture.
Rising upstairs, the first-floor landing gives access to three good-sized bedrooms, all of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms.
To the rear of the cottage is an enclosed garden laid to paved and timber-decked seating areas, with well-stocked planted beds, a covered BBQ area, and access to a timber garden room.
