Inside, this cosy cottage exudes character and charm, its inviting interior styled for comfort and romance. Rustic features, including exposed stone walls, vaulted and beamed ceilings, and quirky stable doors, are blended with vintage-style furnishings and thoughtfully chosen fabrics and artworks for a warm and welcoming vibe. The living room is warmed by a crackling wood burner, setting the scene for cosy evenings in front of the Smart TV, while traditional stone-flagged flooring graces the bright and cheerful kitchen/diner. Set beneath the beams on the first floor, the characterful double bedroom is awash with charm, boasting painted stone walls, rustic beams, with a beautifully indulgent free-standing clawfoot bath in the neighbouring room. A separate shower room adds convenience, while a peaceful upstairs lounge offers extra space to relax. Outside, the pretty front garden is a delightful spot to sip your morning cuppa or enjoy a sundowner, surrounded by the gentle views of the countryside, and there’s private parking for two cars.
