    About this property

    • The Cottage is the epitome of a charming village home, set within an extensive, private garden with woodland and a versatile outbuilding. This Grade II listed property combines character features with comfortable family living.

      The ground floor comprises two south-facing reception rooms overlooking the front. The welcoming sitting room features a wood-burning stove set on a stone hearth and herringbone parquet flooring, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The family room offers a relaxed space, with timber beams and exposed stonework enhancing its rustic charm. At the rear, the kitchen/dining room enjoys a delightful garden outlook and is fitted with granite-topped cabinets, a traditional Aga range cooker, and handmade tiles. A leaded-glass door leads to a utility room and a connecting passage, providing additional practical access from front to rear garden.

      Upstairs, the principal bedroom is generously proportioned, enjoying a sunny aspect and ample storage. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation.

      Outside, the property is set within a truly remarkable garden, which is a wildlife haven. Lawns, deep borders, and a covered pergola terrace provide an ideal space for al fresco dining, while the charming outbuilding provides the perfect workshop and artist's studio. A useful storage shed benefits from electricity and lighting. Within the grounds, a beck winds through the natural woodland, and an assortment of fruit trees - including pear, plum, and apple - as well as berries, add to the garden's charm. Surrounded by fields, the property offers both privacy and a real sense of seclusion.

    I love the combination of charm and practicality in this cottage. The light-filled reception rooms, characterful features, and stunning gardens make it a real haven, while the outbuilding offers wonderful flexibility for a studio, workshop, or home office.
