Entrance hall Enter into the bright and spacious hallway where quarry-tiled flooring and exposed ceiling beams immediately set the tone for this charming period home. A step rises to the original timber front door leading into the lounge, while a traditional ledged barn door opens into the kitchen/breakfast room.

Kitchen/breakfast room A wonderfully sociable, open-plan space that combines traditional styling with everyday practicality. Solid wood cabinetry with antiqued handles is complemented by luxurious black granite worktops, creating a kitchen that is as durable as it is attractive. Features include an undermount double-bowl ceramic sink with period-style mixer tap, complementary tiled splashbacks, space for a Belling ‘Kensington’ range cooker beneath a matching black extractor hood, integrated dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer, together with a concealed ‘Glow-worm’ boiler. Exposed beams and tiled flooring enhance the room's character, whilst wooden steps lead through an attractive feature archway into the dining room.

Dining room A charming reception room, perfect for entertaining, where exposed stone walling, rustic beams and lintels pair beautifully with solid wooden flooring to create an abundance of character. Natural light filters in from windows to both the front and rear aspects, whilst a glazed timber door opens directly onto the rear garden. The staircase rises from here to the first floor, and wooden steps descend through an archway into the living room, creating an appealing sense of flow between the principal living spaces.

Living room Spacious yet cosy and inviting, the lounge centres around an attractive brick-built fireplace with timber mantel and a multi-fuel stove, providing a striking focal point and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Solid wooden flooring continues the property's characterful theme, complemented by neutral décor and a feature wall.
First floor

The landing continues the property's period appeal with exposed stonework and character beams, whilst traditional ledged barn doors lead to the bedrooms and bathroom.

Master bedroom A charming double bedroom featuring sloping ceilings and exposed beams that add warmth and character. Additional benefits include access to the fully insulated loft, a radiator and a front-facing window.

Bedroom two Another generous double bedroom enjoying exposed beams, a useful built-in storage cupboard, access to the insulated loft space, radiator and a front-facing window.

Bathroom The generously proportioned bathroom perfectly complements the character and age of the property, blending timeless period styling with modern convenience. A vanity basin unit is paired with a low-level WC, while taking centre stage is a freestanding roll-top bath with classic ‘ball and claw’ feet and a shower mixer, positioned upon a tiled platform. A separate fully tiled shower enclosure with an electric shower provides added practicality for everyday living. Exposed ceiling beams, painted timber panelling, and a heated towel rail complete this room.
Outside

Enclosed to the front by attractive stone walling, the garden is approached via a timber gate opening onto a gravel driveway providing off-road parking. A retaining red-brick wall separates the driveway from the landscaped front garden, where steps rise to a level lawn framed by mature planting, including an elegant silver birch tree. Further steps lead to a southerly-facing paved terrace, enclosed by whitewashed walls, creating a wonderful seating area with a distinctly Mediterranean ambience—an idyllic spot for al fresco dining or simply relaxing. Exterior lighting, outside power points and a water tap further enhance the practicality of this outdoor space.

Also accessed directly from the driveway is a versatile garden building, creating a true 'home from home'. Whether used as a stylish entertaining space, games room, home office, hobby studio or the ultimate man cave, it offers flexibility to suit a wide range of lifestyles.

To the rear of the cottage, the low-maintenance garden has been thoughtfully designed for relaxation, while a raised decked seating area leads to a second deck where a timber summer house, complete with power and lighting, provides an all-weather retreat. A paved patio offers additional outdoor living space and ample room for a hot tub, while timber fencing provides privacy and enclosure. Exterior lighting and a water tap complete the garden.
