**Inside ** Step inside, and you’re greeted by a bright and welcoming entrance hall that leads to a spacious sitting room. At its heart is a newly installed woodburner, perfectly set within an exposed stone wall surround, bringing warmth and charm to the space. Dual-aspect windows, including a glass door opening to the gardens, flood the room with natural light, making it the perfect place to relax.
The kitchen and breakfast room is a real highlight, featuring elegant shaker-style cabinetry, oak worktops, a traditional butler sink, and an electric two-oven Aga. There’s plenty of space for a large family dining table, making it an ideal spot for shared meals and gatherings.
Upstairs, an oak stairway leads to two beautifully presented double bedrooms, both with built-in storage and showcasing exposed beams and stonework. The first floor is completed by a stylish family bathroom.
It is also worth mentioning that the windows of the property are all double glazed which add to the warmth and efficiency of the cottage.
**Outside ** The property is approached via a long driveway leading to the side of the cottage and a detached, timber-framed garage and workshop. This versatile outbuilding includes a utility space, a sauna, a WC, and a mezzanine level for additional storage. It also offers exciting development potential, subject to the necessary consents.
