A bright 18-foot dining room overlooks the enclosed courtyard patio, ideal for hosting intimate dinners or larger celebrations. Additional reception rooms offer the flexibility for a home office, snug, or playroom.

On the first floor, six well-proportioned double bedrooms provide space and privacy for every family member. The principal suite includes a Jack and Jill en-suite shower room, while three further bathrooms cater to the additional bedrooms. The layout, enhanced by two staircases, offers versatility and the potential for creating a self-contained annexe.
The exterior of The Old Cottage is as enchanting as the interior. A sweeping in-and-out carriage driveway, bordered by mature landscaping, offers parking for multiple vehicles alongside a double garage with additional storage.
To the rear, the beautifully maintained garden is a tranquil escape, featuring an expansive lawn, mature flower beds, and raised planting areas. An enclosed courtyard-style patio provides a perfect setting for al fresco dining or summer barbecues. For those seeking additional living space, a charming garden room/summer house with power and lighting offers endless possibilities, from a home office to a creative retreat, currently a superb games room with pool table, bar and darts.
