Ploughmans Cottage was designed and built by Mallett Construction who transformed it from a ruined farm cottage into an impressive contemporary home. The house, which has more than doubled in size, has a pared back style, sleek high quality finishes and huge windows. While the interior is minimalist and unfussy, the atmosphere is warm, peaceful and welcoming. The inclusion of sections of the original cottage give the house a distinctive character. Views are framed twice in places, by the new windows and the old. Polished micro-cement flooring flows throughout the ground floor and is warmed by underfloor heating. An L-shaped open plan living room is fitted with a contemporary kitchen at one end and has lots of space for dining and comfortable seating. Floor to ceiling windows fill this room with light and concertina doors open to a south facing terrace. Salvaged stone from the original walls of the cottage has been used to create an attractive stone wall in the otherwise modern kitchen. On the west side of the entrance hall there is a utility room, WC and study.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has a dressing room and shower room, bedroom 2 faces south and has an en suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four share a bathroom. The bathrooms are fitted with contemporary fittings and decorated in neutral tones and all the rooms have a light and lofty feel with high ceilings and large windows reaching down to the floor. Underfloor heating has been fitted throughout the first floor.

Outside
Ploughmans Cottage sits in just over half an acre of ground which is divided by a mature beech hedge so that currently the garden is all to the south of the house beside a paved terrace. Birch and apple trees attract wildlife to this part of the garden and to the east of the hedge is an area of rough ground with lots of potential for buyers needing space for dogs, vegetables, chickens or a play area.
