An enchanting Grade II Listed thatched cottage with deceptively spacious accommodation, all set within approximately 0.28 acres of delightful mature gardens overlooking countryside. Full of warmth and period charm, the property has been sympathetically enlarged to the rear elevation with a contemporary extension that takes full advantage of the countryside vista. The welcoming entrance hall provides an inviting introduction to the home and leads to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms. The cosy sitting room is rich in character, offering an ideal space to relax, while the separate dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining. The contemporary well-fitted kitchen forms the heart of the home and features bi-folding doors which open to a raised timber terrace that frames the garden and uninterrupted countryside beyond, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.

Practicality is enhanced by a useful cloakroom completing the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with its own en-suite bath/shower room, together with a separate family bathroom. Services include mains drainage, water and electricity. For broadband/mobile speeds please check location at checker.ofcom.org.uk

Outside
Outside, the beautifully established gardens are one of the property’s defining features. Extending to approximately 0.28 acres, they have been carefully cultivated over many years to create a wonderfully private and peaceful setting, with mature trees, sweeping lawns, colourful planting and two terraces positioned to enjoy the changing seasons and views across the surrounding countryside. A charming summer house provides the perfect place to relax or work from home.
