Discover a truly unique opportunity to own a charming period cottage, offering character and comfort, ideally situated in the heart of Stanwick. This delightful home, forming part of an earlier stone-built country house, boasts exposed beams, stone walling, and quarry-tiled floors throughout, exuding rustic charm.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a warm and inviting space, featuring exposed ceiling beams, a dado rail, and a tiled floor that leads to the first-floor landing. The cosy lounge is a true retreat, centered around an open fireplace with a stone surround and a "Morsø" wood-burning stove, perfect for chilly evenings. Built-in fireside cupboards and an inset niche provide charming display options, while an exposed ceiling beam adds to the room's character.

The irresistibly homely kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a traditional range of hand-painted grey cabinets, beautifully complemented by natural oak worktops. This practical space includes a composite sink and drainer, space for a range-style cooker, an integrated wine cooler, and provisions for a dishwasher, washing machine, and tall fridge/freezer. Two windows overlook the garden, and a lovely exposed stone wall features a recessed niche with a wooden shelf and beam.

From the kitchen, a rear lobby provides garden access and leads to a spacious cloakroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a low-level WC and pedestal basin, along with a built-in cupboard housing the gas-fired boiler. A versatile dining room, or family room, features a characterful exposed stone wall with a display niche and benefits from abundant natural light from front and side aspect windows.

The cottage charm continues upstairs, with exposed beams and floorboards on the landing, which offers loft access, a quirky corner cupboard, and a further built-in storage cupboard. The beautifully presented master bedroom is a light and spacious sanctuary with a high ceiling, ample built-in and open storage and a front-aspect window enjoying garden views. Bedroom two is another generously proportioned double, featuring an ornate cast-iron fireplace, a picture rail, and a side-aspect window with garden views.

Ideal for guests, bedroom three is bathed in natural light and benefits from a built-in double wardrobe, loft access, and an en-suite with a contemporary wall-hung vanity basin unit, back-to-wall WC, and shower enclosure with a "rainfall" shower. Delightfully quirky, bedroom four, accessed via a step down from the landing, is a characterful room with a sloping ceiling and exposed beams, offering potential as a home office or a fun children's hideaway. The family bathroom completes the upstairs, fitted with a contemporary "Roca" suite, including a countertop vanity basin unit, side-fill bath, low-level WC, and a shower enclosure with a "rainfall" shower.

Outside, the large garden is a delight for all seasons. It features visually appealing perennials and evergreens, fragrant roses, and various seating areas perfect for relaxing and enjoying the tranquil surroundings. A separate area is ideal for growing fruit and vegetables, complete with raised beds. The garden also includes a shed and a greenhouse, an outside tap, and gated pedestrian access to the gravelled parking area.

This picture-perfect period cottage enjoys a peaceful, child-friendly location in the heart of Stanwick, a short walk from village amenities and the primary school. With uPVC double glazing and gas radiator central heating, this home offers comfort and efficiency. We encourage a viewing to fully appreciate the unique appeal and charm of this beautiful property.
