Stepping inside, the welcoming hallway immediately sets the tone with its engineered oak flooring and cleverly designed built-in storage that discreetly houses essential integrated appliances such as washing machine and under counter freezer. The bespoke kitchen at the rear, designed to complement the cottage’s character, features high-quality wooden cabinetry with soft-close drawers, wooden work surfaces, and a beautiful ceramic sink.

The spacious living/dining room is a true highlight, bathed in natural light from the dual-aspect windows. A charming bow window frames views of the rear garden, while the front window overlooks the beck, creating a tranquil setting.

The wooden flooring and built-in shelving enhance the cosy yet elegant feel, making it a perfect space to unwind.

Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms offer comfortable and peaceful retreats. The main bedroom enjoys delightful views over the beck, complete with exposed wooden floorboards adding to the cottage’s timeless appeal, whilst the second bedroom, overlooks the stunning garden.

Outside, the garden is nothing short of spectacular. A large sun terrace, perfect for alfresco dining, leads through an enchanting archway to the ‘secret garden’—a private sanctuary with a stunning ornamental pear tree at its heart.

At the rear, a charming wooden garden house with double doors and a decked veranda offers a peaceful escape, ideal as a summer retreat or creative workspace.
