First Floor
The first floor of the cottage is arranged across two wings, each reached by their own staircases, creating a wonderfully flexible layout for family living or visiting guests. From the dining room, a spiral staircase rises to a central landing. Accessed here is the principal bedroom, two double bedrooms and a shower room. The principal bedroom is a striking space with slanted ceilings, exposed beams and dual Velux windows. A pair of decorative French doors add cottage charm and flood the room with natural light. Alongside is bedroom two and four, both comfortable doubles with exposed beams and front-facing windows. Completing this side of the home is the family shower room, designed with traditional styling and modern comfort. It features a corner-shower with inset wall shelf, Victorian-style radiator with towel rail and a bespoke wooden vanity topped with a ceramic basin, framed by a panelled feature wall and soft lighting.
The east facing wing is accessed via stairs from the sitting room. The landing opens to bedroom three, a generous double room with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and loft access, and bedroom six, a versatile single bedroom with side aspect window. The family bathroom serves this wing, beautifully appointed with a freestanding roll-top bath, corner shower, Victorian style fittings and dual-aspect windows set in deep stone sills.
Second Floor
From the east-side landing, stairs rise to the fifth bedroom, tucked into the eaves. With its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, internal stonework and a south-facing Velux window, this room enjoys a peaceful atmosphere and an abundance of natural light.
Outside
The front of the cottage is adjacent to Holton Street on the edge of the village, where a single carport provides sheltered parking. In addition, a gravelled parking area lies on the opposite side of the home, offering space for several vehicles and convenient access to the basement. To the rear, the gardens unfold into a series of beautifully arranged outdoor spaces. A stone-paved terrace sits just beyond the kitchen, perfect for al fresco dining, and is framed by planted borders. Beyond, wide lawns flow into areas of meadow and apple orchards, complemented by raised vegetable beds for home growing. Secluded seating spots are carefully tucked away, offering peaceful places to enjoy the gardens, while mature trees and hedging frame the border and create privacy.
Workshop
Beside the carport, a timber-clad workshop provides an excellent space for storage or hobbies, fitted with cabinetry, lighting and power. An adjoining cloakroom with WC adds useful practicality.
