Located in a rural setting, this attractive four-bedroom cottage offers a blend of character features and practical accommodation, making it a comfortable and flexible home for a range of buyers.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a central entrance hall, with the staircase ahead providing access to the first floor. To the right is a spacious living room, featuring a traditional Victorian fireplace with a tiled inset and hearth-a characterful focal point that adds warmth and charm. The deep window cills throughout the home reflect its heritage and add a sense of solidity and style.

To the left of the hallway is a generously sized dining room with panelled walls and solid wood block flooring. A striking Esse stove sits on a slate hearth and creates a cosy atmosphere, ideal for both everyday meals and entertaining. This room also includes a built-in storage cupboard with shelving, which conveniently houses the oil-fired boiler.

From the dining room, a few steps lead up to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of shaker-style wall and base units, providing ample storage. The layout includes a stainless steel sink, Belling electric cooker and grill with a four-ring hob, and tiled splashbacks. There is designated space and plumbing for a washing machine and upright fridge freezer, making the kitchen both practical and user-friendly.

Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility area or porch. This space offers room for a dryer or additional storage and provides direct access to the rear garden-ideal for outdoor clothing, boots, or gardening equipment.

The first floor comprises four bedrooms, three of which are situated at the front of the property. The main bedroom includes built-in wardrobes, offering valuable storage, while the second bedroom enjoys far-reaching views over open countryside. The remaining two bedrooms offer flexibility for use as guest rooms, children’s rooms, or a home office. A family bathroom is fitted with a P-shaped bath and shower over, pedestal hand basin, and WC.

Outside, the rear garden is low-maintenance and provides a pleasant area for outdoor seating. It benefits from good sun exposure and is ideal for relaxing or entertaining in warmer months. The detached garage is accessible on foot from the garden and by a door from the driveway. It offers excellent versatility and could be used as a garage, workshop, or even converted into a summerhouse or hobby space, subject to any necessary permissions.

This well-balanced home offers period charm, practical space, and a quiet location-well-suited to families, couples, or anyone looking for a rural lifestyle with character.
