Stepping through the front door, you’re greeted by a sense of warmth and character, with natural light filtering through the dual windows into a spacious lounge.
Bathed in natural light, this cosy space effortlessly balances homely character and modern style, complimented by a neutral décor and plush flooring which sets the tone for relaxed evenings spent with family or friends.
Subtle touches of the original cottage charm are evident, weaving a sense of history into everyday living. The room's focal point is a striking log burner set within a chimney breast, featuring exposed stonework amidst crisp white walls. Exposed beams add to the room's rustic allure. The lounge connects seamlessly to the rest of the ground floor, ensuring a natural flow for both entertaining and day-to-day life.

Step through double doors to discover the kitchen-dining area, truly the home’s social hub. The kitchen marries traditional style with contemporary practicality: ample cabinetry, generous work surfaces, and modern appliances, perfect for culinary enthusiasts and busy families. A large window keeps the space bright, and a tasteful blend of tilework and neutral paint enhance the sense of openness.

Adjacent is a versatile dining space, ideal for cosy breakfasts and lively family gatherings. A feature window framing the verdant greenery of the garden enhances the inviting atmosphere, perfect for intimate evenings with family and friends. Savour glimpses of greenery and natural light in the relaxed seating area – perfect to enjoy a morning cup of tea with the birds singing and soaring in the garden.

From the kitchen is a handy utility area, perfect for keeping laundry neatly tucked out of sight. This thoughtful addition ensures the main living spaces maintain their calm, uncluttered. Opening up from the utility is a handy shower room, accessibly located near the rear door providing the perfect spot to refresh after time spent tending the plants or enjoying a fresh country walk.

Following the staircase down from the kitchen, a lower ground floor area offers endless possibilities – home office, playroom, guest bedroom, or snug. The versatile room is bright and spacious, thanks to thoughtful lighting and well-placed windows. Currently used as a guest bedroom and sewing room, there is ample space for a sofa, desk, or even a daybed, perfect for growing families, those who work from home, or anyone in need of a secluded retreat.

Plush, neutral carpet flows throughout the upstairs bedrooms, the first of which awaits on the left.
The principal bedroom is a peaceful haven where you can rest and recharge, complete with capacious built-in wardrobes and space for a king-size bed.
Refresh and revive in the fully tiled family bathroom, furnished with a bath and handheld wand, separate shower, heated towel radiator, WC, vanity unit wash basin and handy storage cupboard, a soothing space for both the morning rush and an evening soak.

Bright and bountiful, with space for a double bed, wake up to elevated views out over open countryside in bedroom 2.

Returning to the landing, next door on the left, bedroom 3 is currently used as a home office. Again, with countryside views this is a versatile space offering home working space or could conveniently serve as a bedroom.

Step out into the enchanting rear garden, a private haven thoughtfully designed for relaxation and enjoyment. A well-kept lawn edged by mature shrubs and sublime plantings brimming in texture, colour and scent, every season offers a new perspective. Whether it’s summer barbecues or quiet morning coffees, there’s plenty of room for alfresco dining, children’s play, and simply soaking up the fresh air.
The cottage style garden is fully enclosed, offering peace of mind for parents and pet owners alike, and providing a tranquil retreat after a day exploring Tottington’s scenic surroundings. The secret garden extends over 0.3 acres with stone paths weaving their way exploring nature’s bountiful offerings and providing several seating spots for you to enjoy the ample and verdant grounds. The patio retains a sense of peace and privacy from the rest of the world. A vegetable patch, established rhubarb and greenhouse provide the perfect setting to grow your own for the good life. Enjoy the relaxing buzz of bees as they browse the spring wildflowers to soothe your senses, while fruit trees provide a canopy of cover. A large well-appointed shed provides handy storage for garden tools and accessories.
