Introduction

This charming, characterful cottage in the idyllic village of Stanhoe seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern comforts. Lovingly renovated and modernised, the property retains its original features while offering contemporary amenities for a comfortable lifestyle.

Inside

Upon entering this deceptively spacious cottage you are welcomed into a large, practical boot room, perfect for storing your outdoor gear.

The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living area, where a modern kitchen flows into a dining space and seating area, with lovely views over the beautiful rear garden, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining guests. There is a separate cosy lounge featuring a wood-burning stove, and adjacent to the living area there is a dedicated study providing a quiet retreat for work or reading. The cottage also boasts a stylish cinema room, offering a comfortable space for movie nights.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, each tastefully decorated to combine comfort and elegance. Two of the bedrooms have their own en suites and there is an additional wet room located on the ground floor, combined with the utility room.

Outside

Open the bifold doors from the living area and head up the steps to the raised paved terrace where you will find an outdoor dining set, gas BBQ and 2 sun loungers, perfect for relaxing and embracing the peace and tranquillity afforded by this countryside setting.

This enchanting cottage-style garden is a sprawling haven of natural beauty and meticulous design, fully secure for dogs to roam safely. The lush, expansive lawn provides a verdant canvas, ideal for leisurely strolls and outdoor activities. Neatly trimmed box hedges frame pathways and garden sections, lending structure and elegance to the landscape.

Interspersed throughout are vibrant wildflower areas, where native blooms attract butterflies and bees, creating a lively, colourful tapestry that changes with the seasons. These wildflower patches add a touch of untamed beauty to the garden, contrasting beautifully with the more manicured sections.

Please note there is also an uncovered pond in the garden so please ensure that children and dogs are supervised when in the garden.

The property also includes off-road parking on the gravel driveway at the front of the house and has an Anderson electric car charging point available for guests to use.
