The Property
Stepping under the storm porch we are welcomed into the property via the entrance hall which flows open plan to the family dining room whilst doors lead from here to both the sitting room and kitchen. Stepping to our left we enter the sitting room, this generous family reception space is filled with light from a window looking over the front gardens and french doors at the rear which open to the patio leading onto the rear gardens. A feature gas fired wood burner is set in the fireplace and provides a warming focal point to this generous space. Heading back to the hall we pass the stairs which rise to the first floor and enter the kitchen at the rear of the house. The kitchen is fitted with a vast range of wall and base units providing superb storage and working areas with an integrated double oven and hob. A pantry style cupboard is set to the chimney recess whilst our sink is positioned below the window which enjoys the stunning views over the rear gardens and fields beyond. A door to the rear opens to the patio area ideal for al fresco entertaining whilst a further door opens to the family bathroom. Back in the hall we flow open plan to the dining room which provides a generous entertaining/family space. A window over looks the front aspect and a hall way passes the door into the garage and leads to the stunning family room. The family room offers a versatile range of uses and benefits from an en-suite bath/wet room allowing this to serve as a superb annexe area if desired. The space is filled with light from windows to two aspects both enjoying views over the gardens whilst a velux roof window increases the effect. French doors again open to the patio whilst a door leads to the bathroom where we find a modern three piece bathroom room suite and open shower area. Climbing the stairs we arrive on the first floor landing where doors lead to all four double bedrooms and the lavatory. The master bedroom sits to the front of the house and boasts a vast space that benefits from built in storage and a vanity wash basin. The three further double bedrooms all benefit from in-built storage and offer superb space throughout. The lavatory is set at the head of stairs adjacent to our airing cupboard. This completes the accommodation.

From the road a generous shingled driveway leads to the front of the property and gives access to our single garage where an electric door provides vehicular access. Established gardens surround the drive way and are filled with a range of perennial shrubs and trees whilst a low lying bed of lavender sits to the front of the cottage. The front door is accessed via the open fronted storm porch whilst gated access to the side of the cottage leads to the rear garden. The rear garden is laid in the main to lawn with a range of established shrubs framing the boundaries. A low set fence encloses the space whilst leaving the stunning field views open to enjoy. French doors lead from both the sitting room and family room to an extensive patio area providing the perfect spot to enjoy this tranquil piece of the countryside.
