Step Inside
From the moment you enter, the home’s character and warmth are immediately apparent. The entrance hall leads through to a cosy sitting room (3.43m x 3.86m), centred around a traditional open fireplace, creating the perfect space to unwind. To the front of the property, a versatile additional reception room (3.40m x 3.81m) offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom, home office or snug, depending on your needs. The heart of the home is the kitchen (3.83m x 4.11m), installed approximately 2/3 years ago, which combines traditional styling with modern convenience. Featuring a Belfast sink, a range of quality units, original quarry tiled flooring and a wood-burning stove, this space perfectly reflects the cottage’s heritage. Leading on, the breakfast room (3.78m x 2.94m) provides a wonderful transitional space, with French doors opening onto the garden and access down to a useful cellar. The property then opens into the truly spectacular barn conversion (8.15m x 3.22m) – a stunning reception area with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, skylights and a feature apex window. With underfloor heating and bifold doors connecting seamlessly to the garden, this space is ideal for entertaining or modern open-plan living. The ground floor is further complemented by a utility area suitable for washing machine and tumble dryer, and a convenient WC.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom (3.43m x 4.01m) offers a bright and spacious retreat, while bedroom two (3.43m x 3.98m) benefits from built-in storage. Bedroom three (3.78m x 4.04m) is full of character, featuring exposed stonework, brick surround fireplace and access to a cleverly designed hidden dressing room (1.45m x 3.15m). The accommodation is completed by a stylish four-piece family bathroom (2.87m x 1.85m), fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, vanity unit and heated towel rail.
The outdoor space is just as impressive as the interior. The property enjoys a beautifully landscaped garden, thoughtfully designed to provide both privacy and functionality. Primarily laid to lawn with mature planting, the garden bursts with colour throughout the seasons. A paved seating area offers the perfect spot for entertaining, while a hidden courtyard within stone walls creates a tranquil retreat. A raised composite decking area forms an excellent sun terrace, ideal for enjoying warmer months, with additional storage beneath. To the front, the property benefits from a private driveway, securely positioned behind double timber gates, providing off-street parking.
