Welcome home

A sociably open plan setting, step directly into the kitchen-diner at Manor Grange Cottage, which serves as the hub of the home, with direct access out to the large lawn and paved patio, where you can enjoy alfresco dining throughout the summer months.

Chic grey tiling, warmed by underfloor heating, extends underfoot, continuing throughout the rooms, complementing the champagne gloss cabinetry where there is ample storage for all your culinary essentials. Cook up a feast for family and friends using the array of integrated appliances, including oven, hob, extractor, fridge, freezer and microwave. Gather around the central island-breakfast bar for morning coffee and toast or listen to after school chatter as you draw a glass of water from the tap. Inset within the gleaming quartz worktops, the undermounted sink sits seamlessly.

Tucked off the kitchen, discover the utility room, plumbed for a washer and dryer and offering additional storage. There is also a handy downstairs WC with vanity unit wash basin accessed off here. Another door from this area of the home opens out to an enclosed courtyard – handy for airing laundry and soaking up the sunshine on serene summer days.

Relax and unwind

After dinner, retreat to the peace and tranquillity of the living room, where large windows to the front and sliding doors to the side frame views out to the private courtyard and garden, and to the countryside beyond.

Decorated in contemporary, serene shades of soft grey, with underfloor heating warming the laminate floor underfoot, this room is effortlessly stylish, offering space for all the family to unwind.

Turning left from the living room, discover a flexible reception room. Currently serving as an office, this room is ideal for those working from home, while it could also be used as a fourth bedroom, should you desire.

And so to bed…

Layered shades of warm grey present a peaceful ambience throughout Manor Grange Cottage, flowing up the stairs to the first-floor landing.

Refresh and revive in the family bathroom, furnished with vanity unit washbasin, bath containing overhead shower, WC and chrome heated towel radiator. White tiling, with a mirrored feature band, is minimal and timelessly classic.

With verdant views out over the fields and countryside, discover bedroom two, a spacious double bedroom with contemporary, part-mirrored, sliding door fitted wardrobes.

Along the landing, sneak a peek at bedroom three, painted in a neutral palette of cream and white, with fantastic views out over the rural surrounds.

Sanctuary awaits in the master suite, nestled at the end of the landing. A sumptuous double bedroom, with a feature wall of dusky pink, ample storage can be found within the fitted wardrobes, with incredible views out over the garden, paddocks and barn and nearby stables.

Refresh and revive in the ensuite, beautifully tiled to the walls and with ample storage space for your perfume, lotions and potions in the vanity unit storage beneath the wash basin. Soak away the aches after an invigorating hack along the lanes, in the deep bath with showerhead attachment. The ensuite is also furnished with WC and heated towel radiator.
