The home is complimented by a outbuilding which has been redesigned to create an additional room that is currently being used as the most elegant wine room.

The property is set within a wonderfully private rural setting, approached via a quiet country track that curves gently past open forest land and mature woodland, creating an

idyllic approach. To the front of the cottage a pretty picket fence encloses a cottage-style garden, planted with established flowering shrubs and climbers that soften the façade and enhance the home’s character. The setting feels peaceful and secluded, with open countryside and mature trees surrounding the approach and beautiful uninterrupted forest views.

A gated entrance opens to a gravelled driveway courtyard, providing parking and access to a detached timber garage/store. Brick boundary walls create a sheltered and private

feel to this part of the garden.The rear garden is beautifully landscaped, mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging, established planting and brick wall boundaries. Well-stocked borders provide seasonal colour and structure, while a variety of shrubs and ornamental planting create a relaxed, established feel.

A particularly attractive feature is the raised decked terrace, positioned to enjoy the garden outlook and ideal for outdoor entertaining. This space provides ample room for seating and dining areas, with a wood-burning outdoor heater/chiminea adding to the atmosphere for evening gatherings.
