Tucked away down a quiet country lane, this wonderful detached cottage offers an exceptional blend of character, charm, and contemporary family living. The main house was fully renovated in 2019, with a significant extension added by the current owners in 2021, alongside external works to the chimney, fascias, and guttering meaning all major maintenance has been carried out recently. The original part of the house also benefits from new windows and a new boiler, both fitted in 2016, ensuring the property is well maintained throughout as well as beautifully updated. The result is spacious, thoughtfully designed accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family life and entertaining alike.

The welcoming entrance porch opens into a generous entrance hall with tiled flooring, a staircase rising to the first floor, and useful understairs storage. At the heart of the home is the stunning 26` kitchen/breakfast room, an impressive and sociable space featuring bifold doors opening to the front, quality fitted units, solid wood worktops, and stone flooring. A large central island with breakfast bar creates the ideal gathering space, while further features include a gas/electric range cooker with external extraction, integrated dishwasher, slimline wine fridge, pull-out bin storage, and space for an American style fridge freezer.

Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious utility room offering ample storage and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with access to a convenient Jack and Jill cloakroom. The beautiful sitting room enjoys views over the front garden and features attractive oak flooring along with a multi-fuel wood burner set on a slate hearth, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. An adjoining study provides the perfect home working environment, further enhanced by fibre broadband to the house, offering excellent speeds that are rare to find in the countryside and ideal for anyone working from home. The study flows seamlessly into a spacious conservatory with tiled flooring and French doors opening onto the patio and gardens.

To the first floor, the landing gives access to four generous bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom. The impressive principal suite offers an abundance of space and features a boutique style en-suite complete with a freestanding roll top bath, double shower cubicle with Mira power shower, vanity unit, low level WC, and mood uplighting. A substantial walk-in dressing room with extensive storage further enhances this superb suite. The remaining three bedrooms all benefit from built-in wardrobes.

Additional benefits include oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout. Outside, the sweeping driveway provides extensive off road parking along with an EV charging point, external lighting, and power points. The generous cottage style gardens are south facing, enjoying sunshine throughout the day, and are mainly laid to lawn, including a large patio area and raised pond, all enjoying a high degree of privacy and creating a wonderful space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

The property further benefits from a bespoke detached annex style building of timber construction, fully insulated and equipped with power, lighting, water supply, and a woodburner. Within the building is a self-contained office space, with numerous windows and double doors to the front. Currently used as a workshop, subject to necessary planning permissions this space could offer an ideal granny annex or Airbnb opportunity. Adjacent is a large purpose-built garden shed with double doors and rear window, also with power and lighting connected. Tucked away behind the outbuildings is additional storage space along with a greenhouse.

For those with dogs or a love of the outdoors, the end of the lane opens directly onto permissive access across the Hardingham estate, offering excellent off-road walking for as far as you could wish, with horse riding also permitted on the estate and local liveries available nearby.

Altogether, this is a truly unique and versatile family home.
