Description
A Storybook Cottage with Endless Charm on the edge of tranquil woodland walks.
Step into your countryside dream which has a beautifully unique, character-filled home that’s every bit as enchanting as it is practical. Tucked within its own stunning mature garden, this charming home is a rare gem. Whether you're a gardening enthusiast, a lover of peaceful outdoor evenings, or simply looking for a family haven to run free and grow together – this idyllic setting has something for everyone.
From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a pretty brick-built porch – the perfect spot to kick off muddy boots and coats after a country walk. Step inside and the magic continues. To the right, a cosy sitting room wraps you in warmth, thanks to a log-burning stove and timeless cottage styling. This space flows effortlessly into a country-style kitchen with exposed beams, a charming range cooker, and French doors that opens out to the sun-soaked patio and gardens.
A cleverly designed utility space sits open to the kitchen – a modern yet characterful addition that makes daily life as smooth as it is stylish and again a stable type door to the garden.
On the opposite side of the cottage, you’ll find two stunning, light-filled reception rooms divided by an exposed brick chimney breast with another wood burner at its heart. These versatile spaces offer the ideal setting for elegant dinner parties that melt into relaxed evenings by the fire, with French doors drawing you outside to yet another tranquil corner of the garden.
And there’s more – a third reception room currently serves as a playroom but offers fantastic flexibility. With a wet room and its own private entrance, it’s perfect for use as a home office, hobby space or even guest suite. Whether you're welcoming clients or family, this space is ready to adapt to your lifestyle.
The first floor offers four generously sized double bedrooms, each with its own unique character and all are well-served by a spacious family bathroom with a separate shower, bathtub, W.C, and basin.
Outside, the wraparound gardens are simply stunning. Picture-perfect and lovingly tended, they offer a beautiful blend of lawns, patios, specimen trees, and flowering borders – an ever-changing backdrop for outdoor living. Whether it’s sipping wine in the sun, pottering in the flowerbeds, or watching the kids explore and play, this garden was made to be lived in and loved.
