The kitchen/diner is a particularly appealing feature of the home, offering an excellent space for everyday family living and entertaining. A substantial gas-fired Aga takes centre stage, complemented by an extensive range of solid wood cabinetry, integrated fridge and dishwasher, double ceramic sink and central island with slate work surfaces. The room is enhanced by exposed timber beams, decorative wood panelling, tiled flooring and windows to two aspects, whilst there is plenty of room for a family dining table.

A conveniently positioned cloakroom, together with a rear lobby and porch giving access to the garden, completes the ground floor.

On the first floor, a landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying its own attractive outlook and retaining the cottage's character through exposed ceiling timbers.

The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with views across the adjoining fields, a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room fitted with a shower enclosure, wash basin and WC.

The property benefits from gas central heating and a combination of double and triple glazing.

Outside, a five-bar gate opens onto a generous gravelled driveway, providing ample off-road parking and access to the garage and workshop.
The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's most attractive features, having been carefully established and arranged to create a variety of spaces to enjoy. There are areas of lawn interspersed with mature planting, colourful flower borders and established shrubs, whilst keen gardeners will appreciate the dedicated vegetable garden. A greenhouse, summerhouse and garden shed provide useful additional facilities. Several seating areas have been positioned around the garden to take advantage of the sunshine and the wonderful outlook across the adjoining open fields. A paved patio immediately adjoining the house provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
