This enchanting chequer-brick detached character house is believed to date from circa 1790 and today forms the charming double-fronted home known as Maran Cottage.

The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive and meticulous refurbishment to an exacting standard. The house has been thoughtfully reimagined and carefully restored to create a characterful yet contemporary home, while incorporating generous storage throughout to support modern family living.

The property is entered via a charming vintage front door, opening into a bright and beautifully presented central reception hall with ample storage. The hall leads through to an impressive kitchen fitted with integral appliances and oak worktops, which flows seamlessly into a superb family dining and living space, creating an open and sociable layout ideal for modern living. From the central reception, there is also a snug sitting room with a log burner, perfect for cosy evenings.
From the reception hall, steps lead down to a WC and a utility room with an internal door to the garage, providing a practical and well-connected layout with convenient access between the main house, utility space, garage and garden.
The property benefits from a spacious basement, professionally tanked to a high specification, creating a dry and comfortable additional living space. This level comprises two versatile rooms, currently arranged as a luxurious cinema room and a study/home office, both benefiting from natural light. Either room could equally be utilised as an additional bedroom if required.
A beautiful, light staircase leads to the family bathroom on the mezzanine level, and continues to the main landing, which serves four well-proportioned double bedrooms. Each bedroom enjoys vaulted ceilings and attractive character features such as beams repurposed from the original roof structure, creating a wonderful sense of space and character. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and lots of natural light throughout via large Velux windows.
To the rear of the property, the garden features a substantial outbuilding that has been carefully refurbished and is currently arranged as a home office, with a kitchenette and shower room, and is centrally heated for comfortable year-round use. This versatile space could equally serve as an annexe, guest accommodation or studio, depending on requirements. A generous sun courtyard with log store and tiered planting leads up to a lawned garden with a pergola, creating a charming outdoor setting in keeping with the quintessential cottage character of the property. To the side of Maran Cottage, a garage provides parking for one vehicle or useful additional storage, with additional off-street parking available to the front. The front garden is neatly arranged with well-kept flower beds and an attractive approach to the property.
