Wonderful edge of Village cottage with delightful garden.
Set in a delightful edge of village location, Compass Cottage is an enchanting cottage that has been redesigned and extended and now perfectly balances period charm with comfortable contemporary living.
Set back from the road, the cottage boasts an attractive exterior, constructed of part brick, part timber with white render and timber cladding, beneath a classic clay pan tile roof. Internally, the accommodation flows seamlessly, comprising period features including beams, studwork and a fireplace as well as light filled and well-proportioned rooms throughout.
The front door opens into the original part of the cottage, where you'll find a charming sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a bright and welcoming dining room, along with a versatile study that could easily serve as a ground-floor bedroom. This room benefits from an en suite bathroom and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden, making it ideal for guests or multigenerational living.
Steps lead down to the beautifully designed extension, where there is a stunning contemporary kitchen and an elegant, light-filled drawing room. The double-aspect kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with ample bespoke cabinetry, electric range cooker and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge, and freezer. The utility room comprises further storage including a Belfast sink, washing machine and a door that leads to the side of the property. Stairs lead up to the first floor, where there are three generously sized double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom in particular benefits from a spacious en suite shower room.

Compass Cottage is set back from the road and approached via a shingle driveway, offering ample off-road parking and a spacious garage. The south-facing garden lies to the front of the property, which is mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous and shrub borders. To the rear there are further raised flower beds and a delightful terrace, perfect for alfresco dining. To the East of the property there is a large spinney, which is a wild habitat and is protected.

I think this is such a great example of a village house, a peaceful setting, excellent condition, character and charm all within walking distance of the village centre.
