Description
Cothay Cottage is an attractive detached residence that combines the character of an established village home with the convenience and style of a comprehensive modern renovation. Originally dating from circa 1935, the property has undergone extensive refurbishment and remodelling, including a two-storey side extension and garage conversion completed in 2023, creating a spacious and versatile family home extending to approximately 2,406 sq ft.

Sitting well within its own plot and surrounded by fields, Cothay Cottage is approached via a private electric gated entrance leading to a spacious gravel driveway in front of the house.

At the heart of the property is an impressive open-plan living space, incorporating a contemporary kitchen with central island, a dining area and a family room with wood-burning stove. Designed for modern family living and entertaining, this bright and sociable space enjoys generous proportions and direct access to the surrounding terrace and gardens. Additional reception accommodation includes a separate living room and a dedicated home office, ideal for those working remotely. An impressive utility/boot room with direct access to the front and rear of the property, fitted storage and Belfast sink, and a useful downstairs WC add further practicality. A large double ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room provides an opportunity for multigenerational living or as guest accommodation; alternatively this area could be utilised as a home gym, games room or downstairs bedroom.
On the first floor, the property offers four further bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite benefits from a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and window seat and impressive en suite bathroom with separate shower and double sinks. The remaining three bedrooms are served by a family shower room. The layout provides well-balanced accommodation suited to both family life and visiting guests.

The gardens are a real feature of the property and have been thoughtfully arranged with a range of mature plants, shrubs and trees. There is a stone wall providing a degree of separation and privacy between the front and rear aspects of the property.

The owners have created a superb outdoor dining/entertaining area with fireplace, barbecue and seating. Beyond the terrace, the garden is laid mainly to lawn with patio areas and high hedges bordering the plot, offering a private and attractive setting for family life and enjoyment of the outdoors.
