Swan Cottage

Set at the front of a thoughtfully designed development comprising of just five properties, this attractive detached home combines timeless character with a practical layout extending across two floors.

The welcoming entrance hall provides access to a formal living room, creating an elegant space for entertaining or relaxing, while a separate study/snug offers flexibility as a home office, playroom or additional reception room.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully proportioned open plan kitchen, dining and family area, designed for modern living and featuring glass sliding doors giving direct access to the garden. A separate utility room and cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four bedrooms together with a dedicated home office, which could alternatively serve as a fifth bedroom if required. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, while the second bedroom also enjoys en suite facilities, making the layout ideal for families and visiting guests alike. The remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.

Externally, the property is distinguished by its classic brickwork, while a double carport and driveway offer practical parking and are situated to the rear of the home.

Designed for modern living, every detail has been considered from elegant Neptune kitchens and well-planned utility spaces to contemporary bathrooms and beautifully balanced interiors. Large windows invite natural light throughout, while private gardens and landscaped surroundings create a calm and secluded atmosphere.

Built with energy-efficient construction methods, the homes at The Nest are designed to support lower running costs while delivering comfort all year round.
