To the side of the property, a practical entrance porch offers space for coats, boots, and umbrellas — a thoughtful buffer between the natural landscape and the warm interiors.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen, a space designed completely from scratch to blend old and new seamlessly.

Whether enjoyed as a dining space, reading nook or additional sitting room, the conservatory provides a tranquil spot to enjoy the changing seasons and garden wildlife from the comfort of your home.

The snug, positioned at the front of the property perfectly captures the charm of countryside living with its exposed beams and characterful brick fireplace.

Upstairs, the home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own sense of character and charm.

The family bathroom is styled with panelled walls, a white suite, and a large walk-in shower finished in distinctive blue tiling. A generously sized window fills the space with light.

The exterior grounds are as enchanting as the cottage itself.
