Primrose Cottage is a charming, detached home dating from 1810, that was extensively renovated by the current owners in 2017. The refurbishment included a full re-wire and re-plumbing of the property, installation of new wooden sash windows throughout, and the addition of a thoughtfully designed two-storey extension.
The extension houses the generously proportioned kitchen/dining room featuring an extensive range of shaker-style cabinetry, a large central island, elegant Corian worktops and a full range of integrated appliances. The dual-aspect layout offers stunning, uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside and flows seamlessly into the adjoining sitting room. French doors from the kitchen open directly onto the garden and terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. The adjacent family room offers a warm and welcoming retreat with a Chesney wood-burning stove flanked by bespoke fitted bookcases. From here, access is provided to a beautifully appointed study, complete with a feature fireplace, wood panelling and additional shelving. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an en suite with a walk-in shower. The guest bedroom also benefits from an en suite bathroom as well as French doors leading to a private balcony. Both rooms enjoy far-reaching countryside views. Two additional bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom with underfloor heating are also located on the first floor.
Stairs lead to the second floor with a suite of rooms including a bedroom, study space and bathroom; ideal as a nanny annexe, guest accommodation or multi-generational living.
Outside, the garden is primarily laid to lawn and features two terraces, one sheltered beneath a pergola, all enjoying uninterrupted views of rolling countryside. A single garage and block-paved driveway provides ample parking, and an EV charging point adds convenience.
