Forest Cottage
Set quietly off the main village, Forest Cottage is a truly remarkable find for those in search of a lifestyle change. The fully enclosed grounds open to a large parking area with garages, outhouses and workshops, offering scope to suit a range of uses whether as workspace, hobby area or to cultivate the already established gardens. The frontage is planted with colourful raised beds and lawn either side, with a gravelled path leading to the main entrance to the property. Internally, the accommodation is bright and modern throughout; with wonderful views across the garden and countryside beyond. A reception hallway provides a welcoming entrance, ideal also as a dining or study area, and linking to the public rooms and bedrooms set to the far end. The kitchen enjoys a particularly bright dual aspect, with an elegant kitchen fitted with plenty of storage and space-saving units and integrated appliances. There is ample space for dining, with a patio door opening directly onto a decked terrace, ideal for hosting outdoors. The neighbouring living room is a comfortable snug style lounge; with a warming woodburning stove at its heart, and panoramic outlooks across the grazing fields to the rear boundary. Three well-appointed double bedrooms with storage sit to the far end of the hall, with the neighbouring shower room recently refitted. The extensive garden provides limitless potential, and would certainly allow for extension to the existing accommodation with relevant permissions to be sought. In addition to the front section of outbuildings, chicken run, orchard and vegetable plots, a decorative garden wraps around the property itself and provides wonderful year round colour and restorative views over the adjoining landscape and river below. With a large stretch of lawn and mature sheltering trees, there are a choice of secluded seating spots and plenty of space for entertaining on al fresco days.
