Description
A delightful four-bedroom country cottage layout, reimagined for contemporary life.
Tucked away at the very end of a peaceful, private lane, this enchanting detached cottage feels like a hidden retreat, a place where character and contemporary living blend effortlessly. Beautifully and thoughtfully renovated, every detail has been carefully considered to create a home that honours its traditional charm while embracing modern comfort. Offered to the market with no upward chain, it’s ready and waiting for its next chapter.
A gravelled driveway welcomes you home, while an illuminated pathway guides you through raised planters to an inviting decked seating area, the perfect spot to savour your morning coffee in the sunshine.
Step inside and discover a stunning, sleek handle-less kitchen designed for both style and practicality. Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, dishwasher and eye-level double oven, complemented by under-counter lighting, solid work surfaces, an inset sink and a five-ring gas hob with extractor above. A cleverly designed pantry tucked beneath the stairs provides invaluable storage.
The internal hallway leads to a contemporary cloakroom featuring a wall-hung vanity basin and WC. To the rear, a well-appointed utility area offers space for laundry appliances and additional refrigeration, with wall-mounted storage units and a part-glazed UPVC door opening onto a covered deck and the garden beyond.
The lounge is a wonderfully spacious sanctuary, complete with parquet-effect flooring and a bespoke media wall with electric flame-effect fire and soundbar, perfect for cosy evenings in. French doors open seamlessly onto the decked terrace, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living.
Flowing through to the dining room, dual-aspect windows bathe the space in natural light, while the original decorative tiled fireplace adds a touch of timeless elegance — an ideal setting for entertaining or intimate family dinners.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. Two generous double bedrooms sit at the front of the property — one with a built-in illuminated wardrobe, the other enjoying dual-aspect windows. The landing provides access to a shelved airing cupboard and a partially boarded loft with power, lighting and fitted ladder.
The family bathroom is beautifully designed and generously proportioned, featuring a wall-hung vanity basin, oversized bathtub, separate quadrant shower and WC — combining practicality with style.
The principal bedroom offers a luxurious private retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe fitted with hanging rails, ceiling light and cubed storage. The accompanying en suite boasts a walk-in shower, wall-hung vanity basin and recessed mirrored storage with LED lighting.
A fourth single bedroom to the rear offers flexibility as a nursery, home office or guest room.
Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden is a true sanctuary. Raised beds filled with mature tropical plants and evergreens create a lush, tranquil atmosphere. With lighting, power, hot and cold taps and an irrigation system, the space is as practical as it is beautiful. The covered decked seating area is perfect for entertaining or unwinding as the sun sets.
Gated access leads to the side lane and onwards to a detached double garage complete with power and lighting.
A charming cottage in a secluded setting — thoughtfully modernised and perfectly balanced between character and contemporary living — this is a home to fall in love with.
