Full of character and warmth, this lovely cottage blends period charm with practical living, making it ideal for those who enjoy countryside walks, cosy evenings by the fire, and a garden to enjoy all year round.

Step inside and you're welcomed straight into the heart of the home – the living room. With its solid wood flooring, front-facing window with fitted plantation shutters, and feature fireplace with a brick surround and wood-burning stove, it’s a comfortable and inviting space.

The cottage has a real sense of history, with curved walls and exposed wood lintels adding to its charm. The property is offered with no onward chain.

The kitchen is well-designed with a range of base-level cupboards and matching wall-hung cabinets, an integrated dishwasher, and space for a range-style cooker beneath a Rangemaster extractor. A ceramic one-and-a-half bowl sink is positioned beneath the rear window, looking out over the garden. There’s even a handy under-stairs storage cupboard to keep things tidy. A solid wood stable door leads outside, while the space wraps around to a utility area with more storage and room for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There’s also a cloakroom here, with a WC and corner basin.

One of the real highlights of the home is the garden room. This oak-framed extension has a vaulted ceiling and panoramic views over the garden, making it a peaceful place to enjoy morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. French doors open onto the patio, creating a seamless flow between the indoors and the outside space.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing has built-in storage cupboards and a roof light, adding to the sense of space. The main bedroom at the front of the house is a double, with an exposed brick fireplace, plantation shutters, and plenty of room for furniture. The second bedroom is at the rear, also a double, with a skylight and views over the garden. The third bedroom is a cosy single, with windows to both the front and side, built-in storage, and access to the loft. The family bathroom is fresh and functional, with a pedestal basin, mirrored medicine cabinet, chrome heated towel rail, WC, glazed shower cubicle with a thermostatic shower, and a panelled bath. A side aspect opaque window allows for natural light while keeping privacy in mind.

Outside, the front of the cottage is framed by a low brick wall with a wrought iron gate leading to the entrance, surrounded by a shingled area. A cattle grid leads to a shingle parking area with a covered carport. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with colourful flower and shrub borders. A sun patio sits immediately behind the house, perfect for outdoor dining, while a summer house and storage sheds are tucked away at the far end. There’s also a raised patio next to the summer house, providing a lovely spot to catch the evening sun. To the west, an additional lawned area is framed by mature shrubs and bushes, offering a private and peaceful space to enjoy.

With the open forest just a short stroll away, this home is perfect for those who love exploring the outdoors while still enjoying a comfortable and character-filled place to call their own.
