Garden Cottage is a beautifully presented and impressively extended family home situated in the picturesque and highly sought-after village of Felton. Set in a peaceful location set back from the main road, this spacious home combines the charm of countryside living with the practicalities of modern family life, offering generous internal accommodation, a delightful garden, and ample off-street parking.
The property is approached via a shared driveway that opens into a substantial block-paved private parking area, capable of accommodating multiple vehicles. Several steps lead down to the welcoming front entrance, which is framed by well-maintained gardens that surround the property, offering privacy and greenery throughout the year.
The spacious hallway laid with tiled flooring continues through to the heart of the home, an open-plan kitchen and dining area. Thoughtfully designed with both style and functionality in mind, the kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, along with appliances including a five-ring gas hob, built-in oven, integrated dishwasher, and space for white goods. The central island doubles as a breakfast bar with under-counter seating, while a bespoke corner bench and dining table create a sociable area ideal for everyday family meals or entertaining guests.
An open archway flows seamlessly from the kitchen into the formal sitting room which is bright and spacious, enhanced by dual-aspect views over the garden. French doors lead out onto a raised decking area, creating a perfect transition between indoor and outdoor living. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and a focal point to this room, making it a great space all year round.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a highly practical utility room, fitted with a worktop, storage, and space for additional white goods. Complete with a shower and external door to the garden adding to the practicality of the home.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile reception room currently used as a games room. This additional living area offers potential for a playroom, snug, office, or sixth bedroom.
Accommodation on the ground floor continues with two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a modern en-suite shower room complete with WC and wash hand basin. A further single room provides the perfect space for a study or nursery. The family bathroom serves this level and includes a bath with overhead shower, WC, and a wall-mounted basin.
Stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor, where two further generous double bedrooms can be found. The master bedroom is particularly striking, featuring a dramatic floor-to-ceiling gable window that floods the room with natural light and offers picturesque views of the surrounding garden. The second upstairs bedroom is also generously sized and bright. Both upper bedrooms enjoy shared access to a chic shower room equipped with a walk-in rainfall shower, WC, and modern wash hand basin.
In summary, Garden Cottage is a fantastic family home offering flexible living space, stylish interiors, and attractive outdoor areas, all nestled in the heart of the thriving and desirable village of Felton.
