Approached via a serene, no-through shingle driveway, the property features off-road parking on a block-paved area. From here, a gate leads to the welcoming stable front door. The entrance boot room provides ample space for a console table and generous storage for coats and shoes, setting the tone for a home that balances practicality with rustic charm. Stepping into the kitchen, you'll be greeted by sweeping views of the surrounding farmland. The kitchen is well-appointed with fitted base and eye-level units, an oven, sink, and space for appliances, making it a delightful space for culinary creations. To the left lies the dining room, part of the original cottage, featuring a cozy log burner, exposed brickwork chimney stack, and a window that frames the private garden perfectly.
The original entrance hall, with its door leading to the rear garden and stairs to the first floor, opens into the lounge—a haven of period features, complete with another inviting log burner. A more recent addition, the garden room, is a sun-drenched sanctuary where the current owners enjoy dining and relaxing during the summer months. The ground floor is completed by a convenient shower room and a utility room housing larger appliances.
Ascending to the first floor, you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering serene countryside views. The family bathroom features a panel bath, pedestal wash hand basin, and close-coupled WC. An airy, spacious landing with a charming reading nook overlooks the stunning Stour Valley, offering a peaceful retreat.
Externally, the property unfolds like a storybook. The formal garden, with its manicured lawns and patio area, is perfect for outdoor gatherings. A stream meanders through the upper garden, crossing a gate into a separate utility garden equipped with a composting area, greenhouse, vegetable patches, and established fruit bushes. Additional features include a garage, enclosed storage unit, open carport-style area, and a large storage space that could be adapted for various uses, such as kennels or a hobby area.
This enchanting cottage offers a rare opportunity to embrace the quintessential country lifestyle in a picturesque and peaceful setting, making it a dream home for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
