Step Inside
Luda Cottage is an idyllic countryside cottage, with its attractive façade creating an inviting first impression.
An entrance porch leads into the snug-dining area, complete with beautiful slate floor tiles, a wood-burning stove and space for a desk and computer.
This first cosy reception room is open plan to the main sitting room, which is exceptionally light and airy with windows to front and rear aspect and sliding doors opening onto the patio which offer a lovely outlook over the grounds. In one corner, fitted bookshelves create a cosy library and reading area, perfect for quiet moments with a favourite book.
The kitchen is located at the rear of the cottage and features a range of freestanding units, a walk-in pantry and a sink positioned beneath the window overlooking the garden. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room, with additional work surfaces, cupboards and plumbing for appliances, and an air source hot water storage cylinder was installed in November 2024. A door from the utility room leads into the ground floor shower room.
A door leads outside from the utility room through a small covered passageway to an outside W.C.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, all of which offer a pleasant outlook to gardens and woodland, as well as a modern family shower room with an exceptionally spacious walk-in shower.
Step Outside
A gated entrance at the end of a country track opens into the grounds of Luda Cottage. The attractive garage is conveniently positioned at the entrance and benefits from an open-sided storage area to the rear, ideal as a log store or general storage space, with potential to be enclosed and converted into a home office or similar, subject to the necessary consents.
Immediately outside the cottage, a flagstone patio provides a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy birdsong whilst taking in this delightful setting.
The gardens are well arranged for those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle, featuring a productive apple and plum orchard, a dedicated vegetable growing area with raised beds, fruit cages and three large greenhouses. Fencing extends up the land, separating the formal gardens from the meadow beyond.
At the top of the meadow is a superb barbecue house, creating a wonderful space for entertaining and making lasting memories. A stream runs along the boundary, completing this idyllic setting.
This is a place where the ‘good life’ can truly be embraced, whether that’s harvesting your own fruit and vegetables, keeping chickens, or simply enjoying the rhythm of the seasons from your own land. It offers the opportunity to live more self-sufficiently, with space to grow, create, and enjoy a slower, more rewarding way of life, surrounded by nature and all it has to offer.
