The ground floor of the property showcases the character and charm expected of a period home of this standing. The sitting room is generously proportioned, featuring exposed ceiling timbers, a substantial brick fireplace, and dual aspect windows that draw in natural light while offering views over the surrounding gardens. This space retains a strong sense of warmth and tradition, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

Adjoining the sitting room is a versatile study or music room, equally rich in character, with exposed structural beams and a defined layout that lends itself well to a range of uses. Whether as a quiet work-from-home space or an informal reading or hobby area, it continues the home’s distinctive style.

The dining room sits at the heart of the home, with exposed timbers and deep-set windows contributing to its period feel. Generously sized, it offers a natural flow into the kitchen, allowing for both family meals and more formal occasions. The kitchen itself is designed in keeping with the property’s heritage, fitted with a bespoke range of cabinetry and traditional tiled flooring, and positioned to enjoy views out to the garden.

Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed bathroom, tastefully updated with a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower enclosure, and traditional-style fittings.

The first floor comprises three bedrooms, each with exposed timbers and characterful sloping ceilings that reflect the property's period origins. The layout flows from one room to the next, making it particularly well suited to those seeking flexible family space. The principal bedroom sits at the far end and includes an en-suite shower room and a dedicated dressing area which offers practical storage and a useful extension of the main bedroom space.

The property stands within established grounds of approximately 0.62 acres (subject to survey), offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Set behind mature hedging and timber gates, the house enjoys an attractive frontage with a brick driveway providing off-road parking and access to a detached garage.

To the rear, the expansive garden unfolds in a series of informal lawns interspersed with a variety of mature trees and planting. A brick-paved terrace lies immediately beyond the cottage, creating a natural spot for outdoor dining and relaxation. The garden extends beyond this, bordered by dense woodland and hedgerow, providing a natural backdrop and sense of enclosure.

Positioned toward the far end of the garden is a detached summerhouse or studio, currently arranged with a decked seating area beneath a timber pergola. This additional space offers clear potential for use as a home office, creative workspace or garden retreat.
