About this property

'May Cottage' is located along a no-through country lane and backing onto open fields, this attractive detached cottage-style home was constructed in 2006 and seamlessly combines traditional character with modern family living. Extending to approximately 1,579 sq. ft., the property offers spacious and versatile accommodation throughout.

The welcoming entrance hall provides access to a cloakroom/WC and a versatile family room/study, ideal for home working or a playroom. The heart of the home is the impressive 21ft triple-aspect kitchen/dining room, flooded with natural light and featuring a part-vaulted ceiling that enhances the sense of space. A separate utility room provides further practicality. The generous triple-aspect sitting room enjoys views over the gardens and features a charming brick-built open fireplace, creating a superb focal point.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room. There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which also feature fitted wardrobes, together with a family bathroom.

Externally, the property is approached via a driveway providing ample off-road parking and leading to a detached barn-style oversized garage with power and lighting connected. To the rear, the enclosed garden backs directly onto open fields, providing an attractive rural outlook and an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment.
