Cyprus Cottage is a charming country home, rich in original features, thoughtfully renovated and extended to provide spacious, versatile accommodation arranged over three floors.

The sitting room features a bay window and character fireplace with wood burner, complemented by a formal dining room with a further fireplace and bay window to the front. The kitchen / breakfast room is fitted with a range of units including integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher and enjoys countryside views, with access through to a stunning library, which in turn opens onto a balcony offering exceptional, ever-changing valley vistas. Completing this floor, is a side entrance leading to the kitchen and adjoining shower room.

The lower ground floor provides further flexible accommodation, including a gym, which would be equally suited as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, or additional living space, with sliding doors opening onto a paved terrace.

Externally, the property offers off-street parking for several vehicles and a mature, west-facing garden, predominantly laid to lawn and enjoying spectacular open views.
