Set within a highly regarded village conservation area and enjoying an elevated corner position, this charming three-bedroom semi-detached period-style cottage forms part of an exclusive development of just six stone and brick cottages, constructed in 2008. The property has been thoughtfully designed to reflect traditional architectural character while benefiting from modern standards of build and comfort.

The cottage immediately impresses with its carefully considered period detailing, including oak ledge and brace internal doors, traditional proportions, and a feature fireplace housing a log-burning stove, which forms a welcoming focal point to the main living space. The triple-aspect sitting room is filled with natural light throughout the day and enjoys glazed double doors opening directly onto the rear terrace, creating a seamless flow between the house and garden and an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

The accommodation is well balanced and generously proportioned throughout. Of particular note, the principal bedroom and second bedroom both benefit from built-in wardrobes and part-vaulted ceilings, enhancing the sense of space and character while retaining a cosy, cottage feel. The third bedroom offers flexibility for guests, home working, or additional family use.

Externally, the property occupies a generous and private corner plot with fully enclosed gardens to the front, side, and rear, offering both security and seclusion. The front and side gardens are attractively arranged with gravelled and tarmac pathways, mature trees, and areas of lawn, providing structure and year-round interest. To the rear, a paved terrace offers an inviting space for outdoor dining and relaxation, overlooking the garden.

Practicality is well catered for with a detached brick and oak-framed carport, accessed via Orchard Close, providing covered parking for one vehicle, together with an additional allocated parking space to the rear. The carport benefits from power supply and a personal door leading directly into the rear garden, adding convenience and versatility. Additional features outside the property include a timber garden shed and a greenhouse, perfect for storage and gardening enthusiasts alike.

Overall, this is a beautifully presented and characterful village home, combining traditional charm, modern living, and a sought-after conservation setting perfect for those seeking a distinctive cottage with both style and substance.
