Gable Cottage combines the appearance and charm of a handsome 1930s property with the comfort, quality and versatility expected of modern family living. Upon entering, a striking double-height entrance hall creates an immediate sense of space and grandeur, complemented by a feature staircase and generous proportions throughout.
The ground floor provides an exceptional range of living and entertaining spaces. There is a downstairs cloakroom, an elegant sitting/dining room featuring a marble fireplace and log-burning stove, with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. A versatile family room can be opened up to form part of the main reception space or closed off to provide a separate room, making it ideal as a playroom, home office or additional reception area.
The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, which enjoys attractive views over the rear garden. Finished with a tiled floor, underfloor heating and a substantial central island, it provides an outstanding space for family dining, entertaining and everyday living. Solid oak flooring extends through the principal reception areas, enhancing the warmth and character of the home.
To the first floor, a spectacular galleried landing features a large window, flooding the space with natural light. The principal bedroom suite benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating.

A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, with tiled flooring featured throughout the bathrooms.
Externally, the rear garden extends approximately 92 feet and enjoys a desirable south-easterly aspect. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a paved seating area, raised decking with hot tub and a heated, fully insulated summerhouse. The summerhouse offers superb versatility and is currently ideal as a games room or home office.
To the front, a long driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the garage, offering both convenience and practicality.
