Property description
Tucked away on the outskirts of the popular village of Blunsdon, this immaculately presented detached cottage offers the perfect balance of character and comfort. The property is brimming with charm, from its exposed beams and solid oak flooring to its feature fireplaces and dual-aspect log burner, all of which create a warm and welcoming cottage atmosphere.
With the added benefit of a gated driveway, garage with loft storage, two beautiful gardens and a sunroom, this home is as practical as it is enchanting.
The ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance porch leading to a study, complete with oak flooring and a feature fireplace, ideal for use as a home office or quiet retreat. A cloakroom is conveniently positioned nearby.
The heart of the home is the spacious living and dining room, where exposed beams and brickwork combine with oak flooring to create a rustic yet elegant space. The dual-aspect log burner adds both character and warmth, while patio doors open onto the garden, making this an inviting room for both family gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen is equally impressive, designed with a vaulted ceiling, granite work surfaces, a traditional butler sink and a cleverly designed arch through to the utility area.
Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms. The master bedroom features fitted wardrobes and enjoys picturesque views over the surrounding area, while the second benefits from a built-in wardrobe and the third is full of character with a feature fireplace and exposed floorboards. A stylish four-piece bathroom completes the first floor, boasting a roll-top bath, separate shower cubicle, W.C. And wash hand basin, with exposed floorboards adding a touch of traditional charm.
The outdoor space is particularly appealing, with two distinct gardens offering versatility for different lifestyles.

The garage offers generous loft storage and has been extended to include a sunroom or multipurpose space, with patio doors opening onto a decking area, further enhancing the home’s connection with its outdoor surroundings.
