Accommodation
Stepping inside, the cottage immediately reveals its character. A central entrance hall provides access to the heart of the home. To the right, the double-aspect kitchen is bright and welcoming, with direct access to the garden. Hand-built cabinetry is complemented by a butler's sink, while a built-in banquette offers seating for a breakfast table. A practical utility room accommodates white goods, and a downstairs shower room adds further convenience.

The reception rooms are equally versatile. The charming dining room features an inglenook fireplace, exposed timber beams, and stone walls, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Beyond lies the characterful sitting room with open fireplace, the perfect setting for cosy evenings. The garden room, or snug, opens directly onto the terrace and flows through to the study, a flexible space that can serve as a home office, morning room, or fourth/fifth bedroom, complete with its own cloakroom.

Upstairs, the bedrooms enjoy high ceilings, window seats, and exposed beams. The principal bedroom is light and spacious, with double-aspect windows and ample space for storage. Bedroom Two, currently used as an upstairs sitting room, opens onto a covered balcony with glorious countryside views. Bedroom Three is another generous double, while Bedroom Four serves as a dressing room. The large family bathroom is flooded with natural light thanks to a double-aspect window, while generous storage further enhances practicality. The loft space offers potential for conversion (STPP).

Outside
The gardens are a particular highlight, thoughtfully landscaped to make the most of the property's idyllic setting. The cottage garden is filled with colourful borders, mature fruit trees and a winding gravel path, a courtyard terrace providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining. Enchanting views across Harper's Brook create a serene backdrop. The garden has a further tiered level next to the river's bank providing plenty of room for a kitchen garden.

At the far end of the garden lies a single garage with adjoining workshop, providing excellent storage and off-road parking.
