A Rayburn Aga takes center stage, yet a practical conventional oven and hob provide additional functionality ensuring culinary delights are easily prepared, making the ideal setting to cook and prepare whilst socializing with friends effortlessly and simultaneously.
The kitchen smoothly transitions into the formal dining area, where natural limestone flooring enhances the sense of space. French doors invite the outside in, opening onto the rear garden, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living—a perfect setting for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the serene views.
Ascend the staircase to discover the crowning jewel of the cottage: a grand master suite that boasts a vast vaulted ceiling with extensive exposed beams, offering a sense of openness and airiness. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light, whilst fitted wardrobes provide ample storage without compromising the aesthetic. A traditional en suite bathroom awaits, featuring a stunning cast iron claw-footed roll-top bathtub, promising luxurious relaxation after a long day.
The unexpected twist lies within the perfectly appointed annexe, ideal for guests or as an income-generating AirBnB. This space features an open-plan family lounge and kitchen area, adorned with exposed timber beams that echo the main cottage's charm. The kitchenette offers practicality while the triple-aspect glazing fills the space with warmth and light. A beautiful timber door leads out to a private lawned garden, creating a peaceful escape for your guests.
Upstairs, the annexe reveals two inviting bedrooms portraying a perfect layout for a master bedroom with its very own dressing room - both with impressive exposed timber beams and a solid oak floor and a quirky designed ‘Jack and Jill’ type wash facility awaits.
In every corner of Pleasure Ground Cottage, there is a story waiting to be told.
