The kitchen and utility
As the practical heart of the home, the kitchen enjoys outlooks over the gardens and plenty of space for everyday cooking. A range style cooker beneath an extractor hood, forming the focal point. A steel sink sits under the window, while the adjacent utility keeps laundry and storage separate from the main living areas. Off the utility, a ground floor cloakroom with low level WC and tiled walls provides convenient facilities for guests and family alike.

The living room
Spanning the depth of the house, the living room offers a flexible space for family life and entertaining. A wood burning stove set forms an inviting focal point and tall windows to the side frame views over the garden and fill the space with light, while sliding patio doors open directly onto the lawn so you can step straight outside. Its generous proportions accommodate both sitting and dining areas, making it a welcoming hub for everyday living.

The dining room
Character abounds in the dining hall where exposed ceiling beams and a full height stone wall celebrate the cottage's heritage. From here a quirky staircase with rope banister curls up to the first floor, adding a charming feature to the room. A pair of glazed doors to the front bring in daylight and provide an alternative entrance, while an archway leads through to the kitchen to make entertaining effortless.

The primary bedroom
The main bedroom is a peaceful retreat on the first floor, benefiting from dual aspect windows that look across the garden and surrounding countryside. Built in wardrobes with sliding doors provide practical storage without encroaching on floor space, and there is room for additional furniture if required.

The second bedroom
The second bedroom lies alongside the main bedroom and enjoys a wide window framing views of mature trees. A useful built in cupboard offers tidy storage and there is a radiator for warmth. Proportions are generous enough to accommodate a double bed or home office set up, giving this room flexibility as a guest suite, children's bedroom or study, and its simple finish allows the next owner to personalise.

The third bedroom
Bedroom three sits quietly to the rear of the house with a slightly sloping ceiling that adds character to the space. A built in wardrobe with mirrored doors helps maximise the floor area and keeps clothing neatly out of sight. The single window looks across open countryside and allows fresh air to circulate, while there is still enough room for a single bed or desk. This room would make an ideal child's bedroom or cosy home office.

The bathroom
The family bathroom serves all three bedrooms and is fitted with a full sized bath with an electric shower over and a glass screen. A pedestal wash basin sits alongside the tub and part tiled walls make for easy maintenance. A built in airing cupboard provides storage for towels and linen and there is additional shelving for toiletries. With its traditional suite and functional layout, this bathroom offers scope for future enhancement.

The garden
Wrapping around the house, the gardens extend to around a third of an acre and are mainly laid to lawn with mature planting. Established fruit trees, evergreens and ornamental shrubs create structure and seasonal interest. A paved patio and adjoining gravelled seating area provide spots for outdoor dining and morning coffee. Towards the boundary sits a timber summerhouse, and hedging and fences enclose the space without obscuring the far reaching countryside views.

The driveway and parking
Approached over a sweeping tarmac drive, the property provides extensive off road parking and turning space. The driveway wraps around the house and leads to a detached double garage, ensuring plenty of room for several vehicles, trailers or a caravan. Low fencing and hedgerows define the edges and a level area of hardstanding in front of the garage makes access easy.
