The lounge area of the open-plan ground floor reception area is charming and cosy, with the fireplace the focal point to cluster around and relax with a book or enjoy chatting with friends or family. The farmhouse-style kitchen diner on the other side of the open-plan area is another effortlessly inviting spot - a combination of traditional and modern via the Rayburn stove next to the contemporary oven. At the rear of the kitchen diner is a bonus sun room that is flooded with light and views and can tempt you in with the offer of peace or an extra place to entertain.
The sun room leads out to a sun-drenched sunken patio that feels private and intimate compared to the rest of the garden that offers immense and far-reaching views. The ground floor of the cottage is home to two of the potential five bedrooms hiding inside this pretty property. The one bathroom is located on the ground floor too and offers a four-piece suite plus the continuation of the cottage charm.
The statement, free-standing bath sits on a raised platform offering a special spot to relax in hot bubbles at the end of an enjoyable day exploring the surrounding countryside on foot, bike, or horse. Up the main central staircase to find a spacious upper level of accommodation that could become the main bedroom or a large roof studio or even a huge lounge perfect for entertaining many guests. But this quirky cottage hasn't finished surprising you yet because there's another staircase to discover inviting you to climb again and find more useful accommodation.
At the top of the bright blue second staircase you will find two more rooms, one of which is a bedroom and the remaining room is currently being used as a home office with such an incredible view it must be very hard to get any work done at all. Views of the surrounding countryside at sunrise are breath-taking and continue to mesmerise throughout the day. Watching the sun set over the coast and the inky dark night sky peppered with stars is life-affirming experience - and this much-loved cottage can offer you a front row seat every day.
