The farmhouse-inspired kitchen (with garden access) is appointed with base cabinets and generous granite worktops, arranged around a central island with further storage and workspace, and framed by flagstone floor tiles. The pièce de resistance of the kitchen is a large cream-coloured AGA, sure to impress home cooks and amateur chefs alike and offering a homely, yet impressive focal point for the room. Space is provided in the kitchen for an additional dining area, ideal for casual weeknight suppers, breakfasts, and socialising while cooking, whilst a neighbouring utility room (with external access) offers a discrete laundry area. The hall also affords access to a casual family/TV room, a study, and a sitting room, with the latter enjoying characterful ceiling beams and a striking stone feature wall, and leading through to a further hall (with storage), off of which a bedroom and a bathroom are accessed. Externally, the cottage is accompanied by wonderfully generous garden grounds, offering the perfect outdoor space for family recreation, barbecuing and entertaining during summer, and ideal for those looking to embrace the rural lifestyle, featuring apple, pear, and plum trees, and offering potential to be used as a paddock.
