The property
1 Forestry Cottages is an attractive rural property that offers expertly updated, stylish accommodation arranged over two floors.

The bright entrance hall with its stairway to the first floor, opens into the expansive open-plan ground floor, a highly sociable and contemporary space with ample room to entertain, dine and relax. There is a 23 ft. double-aspect drawing room with a pair of feature fireplaces and double French doors to the rear terrace, and a cosy family room/dining space adjacent. Natural stone flooring runs throughout the dining space and kitchen, which features a range of chic shaker-style cabinetry, pantry, various integrated appliances and double glass doors to the rear garden. A practical utility with WC completes the floor.

The first floor has four well-proportioned bedrooms with elevated views of the garden and rural surroundings. There is a luxurious family bathroom with partially wood-panelled walls and freestanding bathtub, whilst the principal bedroom enjoys the use of an en suite shower room with a Japanese-style shower.

Both floors enjoy the benefits of underfloor heating and the roof void is such that further development could be undertaken, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
