About this property

An attractive detached 4 bedroom home with wrap around gardens in a desirable village location with a double garage, driveway and countryside views.

This attractive 19th-century cottage, believed to date from the 1830s, offers a wonderful balance of timeless character and generous, well arranged accommodation, all set within a particularly appealing layout suited to modern family life.
The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall leading into a series of well proportioned reception rooms, each enjoying a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere befitting a home of this period. The principal sitting room provides a particularly inviting space, while a further reception room offers flexibility for formal dining or more informal family use.
At the heart of the house lies a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, very much designed for everyday living, with a natural flow through to a delightful garden room overlooking the garden and providing an excellent additional reception space throughout the seasons. A separate study offers a quiet retreat for home working, supported by practical additions including a utility room and cloakroom.
Upstairs, the accommodation is equally well balanced, with four comfortable bedrooms arranged off the landing. The principal bedroom with en-suite is complemented by three further bedrooms, all served by a family bathroom, creating a layout that works equally well for families or those seeking additional guest or workspace.
Overall, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a charming period cottage of genuine character, with a thoughtful layout, excellent proportions and a distinctly rural feel, whilst remaining entirely suited to modern living.
