Old world charm combines with contemporary comforts at Prospect Cottage, in the peaceful country village of Brindle. Travel along Water Street - a quiet, leaf-lined country lane dotted with cherry blossom trees, a local primary school and a village hall - until you reach the low stone wall and gated entrance to Prospect Cottage, a traditional country cottage.Through the gates, pull up on the large driveway. A detached, wooden-clad double garage is on hand for parking or storage. Dating back to the 1800s, Prospect Cottage is aptly named.

Push open the solid oak, studded front door complete with wrought iron knocker and step inside. Immediately ahead, a stunning solid oak and glass staircase turns its way up to the first floor, separating the immense open-plan living accommodation of the ground floor. Bright, warm and welcoming, the entire downstairs is kept snug by underfloor heating. Underfoot, a Karndean textured wood effect floor spans out, convening with the carpeted lounge and dining areas of this impressive, inclusive living space.

To the left, exposed stonework encompasses a striking inglenook fireplace, housing a toasty wood-burning stove. Spotlights overhead add a splash of contemporary elegance to the scene; the perfect space in which to hunker down on a chilly evening for family time.

Meticulously renovated to be a forever home, every inch of Prospect Cottage has been conscientiously planned and finished to a high quality for luxury living. Across from the lounge lies your formal dining area, with seating for up to eight set before a red brick decorative fireplace. Ideal for parties, once the meal is finished, your guests can drift over to the lounge whilst others remain at the table, still together with the flexibility of open-plan movement. Light flows through the entire open-plan living space courtesy of windows to both the front and rear. To the back of the dining area is a quiet study area, in front of the window which frames picture-postcard views over rolling countryside.

Glass double doors lead through into the sunny and spacious conservatory with a solid glass roof. Overlooking Brindle and the fields beyond, this room is perfect for warm summer days, when you can throw open the patio doors and step outside for an interlude in the sunshine. Currently set up as a safe and cosy playroom, children will love spying the cows and sheep grazing in the pastures beyond.

Slip through to your fabulous country-style kitchen, fitted with a wealth of over and under creamy white units. Black granite work surfaces add a touch of sophistication and marry harmoniously with the stunning royal blue Aga, set before an exposed stone feature wall. Replete with all the appliances you would anticipate from a kitchen of this class, stash your best bottle of bubbly in the integral wine cooler. There is also a built in dishwasher and a large mirror-effect American style fridge-freezer. Every aspect of this culinary centrepiece exudes quality; from the inlaid grooves on the granite surface by the sink to the swirl of inset spotlighting that casts a burst of atmospheric lighting on the glossy Aga in the evening.

Enjoy a casual Saturday brunch with the family at the large bench-table by the patio doors. With an abundance of inbuilt storage, this cleverly-crafted unit makes for a handy informal dining area, with French doors onto the priivate side patio area ideal for alfesco dining,

Beyond lies a utility room for your washer and dryer; there is also hanging space for coats. A continuation of the kitchen, note the same glossy black worktops surrounding the additional sink. Handy for scrubbing up after a rural walk. Two latched wooden doors with feature iron hinges and latches lead to a large storage cupboard and useful downstairs WC. Clean and contemporary, this cloakroom is dressed in matt stone tiles with a deep, circular corner sink and matching white W.C.

The spacious living areas of Prospect Cottage enjoy such an inclusive feel; modern living with all the romantic trappings of yesteryear. Time to take the solid oak feature staircase to the first floor, with its gently curving return and glass balustrades, upstairs.

Emerging onto the landing, to the left discover your warm and inviting master suite. Sloping white ceilings meet with exposed brick feature walls, softly lit by inset spotlighting.  Bright and light, soft neutral carpet lies underfoot, with latched wooden wardrobes providing built-in storage. To the right, soft carpet makes way for heated solid flooring as a quirky open en-suite area is revealed, allowing free light flow between the dual aspect windows. Privacy is maintained without interrupting the views and flow of the master bedroom. Stylish square twin sinks sit within a sleek built-in vanity unit, with a chic circular heated towel rail located to the side. Opposite, smoked glass doors conceal a large wet room area, with walk-in rainfall shower fitted beneath an exposed wooden beam. There is also a convenient low flush W.C..

From the stairs, sneak a peek around the first door to the right to spy a bright and inviting double bedroom. Currently utilised as a nursery, sage green casement windows are a quirky and characterful addition. There is also a built-in wooden cupboard for additional storage whilst a rustic fireplace takes centre stage in the exposed stone wall. Modern spotlighting adds a contemporary touch, alongside the broad illuminated mirror lights behind the vanity unit.

Opposite, discover your pristine luxury family bathroom. Glossy porcelain tiles and white units replete with storage drawers complement the deep modern sink. Underfloor heating keeps this room toasty warm, alongside a traditional cream accordion-style radiator surrounded by chrome. To the left, a huge and relaxing bath tub encased in tiles stands opposite a window framing views out to the countryside beyond. A sleek glass screen encases the overhead rainfall shower.

Continue ahead through an impressive curved wooden door frame, another unique and quirky cottage feature. To the right, a versatile third bedroom. Cosy with exposed beams and a low window, this room is currently used as a dressing room but could happily house a single bed or be used as an office.

At the end of the hallway, discover the beautiful fourth double bedroom. Crisp white walls again mingle with exposed beams and brickwork, with views that extend, uninterrupted, over the countryside to the rear. Slip through into the en-suite, where a walk-in shower, modern sink and vanity mirror await. Once more, underfloor heating assists the heated towel rail in keeping this space snug and warm even on the chilliest mornings.
