Rambler Cottage is a modern, detached single-storey family home offering well-proportioned and spacious accommodation throughout. The property features five/six bedrooms and five bathrooms, complemented by generous and flexible living areas ideal for both family life and entertaining.
Set within attractive and secluded gardens and grounds, the home also benefits from a brick-built double garage with an adjoining car port. Above the garage is a versatile studio or office space, perfect for remote working, creative pursuits, or additional guest accommodation.

Tucked away behind mature hedging and a private drive, Rambler Cottage immediately impresses with its timeless charm and beautifully landscaped grounds.

Upon going through the front door and into the welcoming entrance hall, you are met with an immediate sense of space and light. From here there is access to the majority of the rooms plus a W/C. The interiors blend classic styling with modern comfort, showcasing neutral tones, oak flooring, and large windows throughout.
To the front of the home, the generous open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room exudes warmth from its log burner and beautifully connects to the garden with delightful outlook. Flowing from here, the expansive kitchen/dining area is a true centrepiece: flooded with natural light and fitted with sleek cabinetry, a large peninsula breakfast bar and integrated appliances. Patio doors open directly onto the terrace, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living.

There are four bedrooms within this part of the property that all benefit from their own ensuite with two of them having walk-in wardrobe areas. Two of the rooms are currently setup as a study and large dressing room. Proceeding down the hall way, a door opens into the fantastic living room.

The living room spans an impressive footprint with garden access and log burner as the focal point — a versatile space for family gatherings or entertaining on a grand scale. Bi-folding doors draw you into the rear garden where a generous patio and mature planting create a private sanctuary. A door to the rear side opens into the boot room with W/C with further access into the utility room. From here there is access into the double garage. Stairs rise from the living room to the first floor where the space could have a number of uses from reading area, music practice or homework zone. Further doors open into two bedrooms (one being used as a study), a shared family bathroom and eaves storage cupboards.

Outside
Accessed via a sweeping private drive, electric double metal gates open onto a generous paved parking area with further gravel section providing ample off-street parking. There is access to the double garage and adjoining car port as well as footpath leading to the front door. The mature and exceptionally well-manicured garden is a true delight. Whilst being fully enclosed, the plot measures 0.72 acres and is predominantly laid to lawn with a number of bedding areas. There are various trees, shrubs and greenery that are distributed across the grounds with a sizeable paved patio and vine covered pergola providing the perfect space for outside dining. Abutting the primary patio area is a pond with water feature. Within the trees to the south-west boundary, there are numerous garden sheds.
