Thatch, stone and tranquility come together on Pudding Bag Lane, where this charming two-bedroom cottage enjoys an idyllic setting in the conservation village of Exton. Exposed beams, an impressive inglenook fireplace and a wood-burning stove create an inviting first impression from the moment you step inside.

ACCOMODATION
The front door opens into a traditional entrance hall, from which the sitting room immediately showcases the home's heritage. A substantial stone inglenook fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove, forms an inviting focal point, while exposed timbers and cottage proportions add warmth and authenticity.

Beyond, the accommodation flows naturally into a bright living and dining room. A handsome bay window draws in natural light, while a stable door opens directly onto the garden, creating an effortless connection between inside and out. Whether entertaining, enjoying quiet afternoons with a book or simply taking in the garden setting, this is a room designed for relaxed country living.

The breakfast kitchen is both practical and characterful, fitted with classic shaker-style cabinetry beneath generous worktops and enjoying views across the garden. There is space for a washing machine and dishwasher alongside the usual appliances, while the room comfortably accommodates a breakfast table, making it an ideal spot for informal dining. Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed family bathroom, fitted with a curved bath and shower over.

Upstairs, two charming double bedrooms occupy the first floor, each embracing the character of the cottage with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and delightful views across the garden. The sloping rooflines and original timbers lend both rooms an unmistakable sense of charm and individuality.

OUTSIDE
Outside, the cottage garden provides a peaceful extension of the home. A paved patio, accessed directly from the living and dining room, offers the perfect setting for morning coffee or al fresco dining. Stepping stones lead across the lawn to a raised terrace, ideally suited to outdoor seating and enjoying the tranquil surroundings. A charming pergola frames the garden gate, beyond which a graveled driveway leads to the single garage, providing valuable parking and useful additional storage.
