With its character features and charming presentation, Ramblers Cottage offers a free-flowing interior layout with wood-floor covering in the hallway extending into reception areas providing practicality and a pleasing sense of cohesion. A brick-built fireplace with timber lintel and wood-burning stove in the sitting room offers a focal point and a warming ambience, with glazed sliding doors opening onto a garden terrace providing a link from the inside to the outside environment. An aperture to the dining room ensures a sociable setting ideally suited to entertaining guests and family gatherings, with French doors to the garden offering a further connection for al fresco dining and relaxation. Fitted with contemporary wall and base level cabinetry, topped with wood work surfaces, the adjoining dual-aspect kitchen features a Belfast sink and practical tiled flooring.

Rising from the reception hall, a stairway provides access to the first floor accommodation which comprises a principal bedroom, enjoying the elevated outlook over the rear garden and fitted with wardrobe storage with rustic-style doors. The second bedroom has exposed beams to the ceiling, and between the two bedrooms, is the stylishly designed family bathroom.

Outside

The property is approached via a lane, with timber five-bar gates opening onto a driveway for parking, whilst a gravelled garden area at the front of the house offers a spot for potted plant displays. An attractive storm-porch with low brick-wall surround and timber pillars, provides shelter and a structural feature at the entrance to the home.

The rear garden at Ramblers Cottage provides an outdoor sanctuary with a paved terrace adjoining the house taking advantage of the southerly aspect and offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation. A low-brick retaining wall at the edge of the patio, along with mature planting, creates a sense of seclusion and steps lead up through a pretty timber archway to an area laid to lawn. Evergreen hedging and specimen trees in this second garden zone provide privacy, and a timber edged central bed and well-stocked borders provide decorative planting pockets, whilst the expanse of grass offers ample space for children’s play. A timber outbuilding at the edge of the paved terrace offers flexible-use options and is currently presented as a gym, whilst a shed provides useful storage space.
