The heart of the home is undoubtedly the beautiful kitchen/breakfast room, where contemporary fittings blend seamlessly with the character and charm of the property. Designed in a cottage style, the kitchen offers ample storage, a useful breakfast bar and attractive exposed brickwork, adding a traditional yet stylish feel. This flows effortlessly into the open-plan dining/family room, creating a fantastic space for both everyday living and entertaining. Further exposed brickwork, together with skylights overhead, floods the room with natural light, while stunning patio doors open directly onto the south-east-facing garden, perfectly combining indoor and outdoor living. The beautiful countryside views provide a peaceful backdrop to this impressive space.
Completing the ground floor is a convenient WC and an additional sitting room/office, which also benefits from a beautiful log-burning fire, providing another cosy and versatile space within the home.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
