Inside

Step through the beautifully restored farmhouse door into an inviting entrance hall, where bespoke under-stair cabinetry provides discreet storage for shoes and bags. Every inch of Regent Cottage has been designed with both elegance and practicality in mind.

The snug, re-imagined for modern comfort, features a generous bay window that floods the space with natural light and frames views out onto the driveway. A magnificent ornate marble fireplace with a cast-iron grate creates a striking focal point, the perfect setting for winter evenings.

Beyond, the home opens into a breathtaking split-level living space, an inspired fusion of design and craftsmanship that spans the majority of the ground floor. The bespoke kitchen is a masterclass in refinement, with floor-to-ceiling Shaker cabinetry, integrated wine storage, a re-finished central island, herringbone splash back, and ambient lighting that sets the perfect tone from dawn to dusk. A pull-out larder and hidden storage solutions ensure beauty is matched with functionality.

Adjoining the kitchen is a stylish lounge area, complete with bespoke joinery forming a sophisticated media wall. A large window looking out to the garden invites an abundance of natural warmth and light, while a cleverly zoned study area offers an inspiring place to work or create.

A few gentle steps lead down to the dining area, a stunning, light-filled space that opens directly onto the garden. Perfect for entertaining, it captures the home’s essence: Relaxed elegance and effortless flow. A downstairs cloakroom and well-appointed utility room complete this level.

Upstairs, two luxurious ensuite bedrooms offer boutique-hotel comfort and exquisite finishing. On the third floor, a bright and versatile loft room currently serves as an additional bedroom, with scope to transform it into a show-stopping principal suite if desired.

Outside

The magic continues outdoors, where a private driveway provides parking for three to five vehicles. At the rear, the landscaped garden unfolds in three distinctive tiers, a sun-drenched patio for dining al fresco, a manicured lawn ideal for family gatherings, and a charming pergola that opens onto a dedicated play area. Hidden at the garden’s edge, a potting shed and large workshop adjoin a fully equipped gym space, perfect for creative pursuits or wellness routines.
