Property
Stepping through the front door of Outlaws Cottage we are welcomed by the reception hall where the scale of the property is instantly apparent. Stairs rise to the first floor and doors open to both the kitchen and sitting room and we find the ground floor cloakroom. At the foot of the stairs we enter the stunning sitting room where the character of the home comes alive! A large inglenook fireplace houses the wood burner whilst windows to the front and rear fill the room with light which reflects off the wooden flooring. A door opens to the kitchen whilst French doors lead into the study where we take in a view of the gardens and swimming pool. In the kitchen we find a range of bespoke units set below quartz work surfaces. A butler sink is set below the window and a range style cooker takes center stage. A door from here opens to the impressive conservatory which provides a delightful dining and living space ideally set to enjoy the far reaching views to the rear. Stepping back through the kitchen we find the rear entrance lobby leading to the boot room, utility and walk-in-pantry store. On the first floor the large landing takes in the open field views to the rear and leads to the three double bedrooms and family bathroom. At the front, the master bedroom enjoys superb proportions and a wealth of fitted wardrobes. The guest bedroom again offers exceptional space and enjoys its own shower room whilst at the rear the third bedroom is a fine double room. The family bathroom offers a bath, separate shower, wash basin and w/c. This completes the accommodation.

Stepping in we find an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and a door opening to the ground floor bedroom. This double room enjoys its own shower room ideal for guests, on the first floor a small landing opens to the main bedroom on the left and the living areas to the right. The main bedroom is an exceptional space, offering a pleasant surprise for a property of its type. A window enjoys the open views to the front of the property and a door leads into the bathroom. Across the landing we step into the open plan living/dining and kitchen space which at over 20.ft again offers a surprising space. Windows to three aspects fill the area with natural light and take in the stunning views. The kitchen space offers a fully functioning bespoke fitted kitchen with oven and hob integrated whilst space for the washing machine and fridge freezer are made. Completing the annexe French doors open to the balcony.
Outside
Approaching from Lugs lane we are welcomed onto the premises via an 'in and out' horse shoe driveway that sweeps the frontage and provides ample off road parking, an established garden bed fronts the road and is filled with colour throughout the year. The drive leads to the front of the property where the main entrance leads into the reception hall whilst to the side a large paved courtyard offers a delightful seating area and access to the side entrance of the house. A path from here takes you to the rear of the property where we enter the annexe. At the rear the formal gardens are set to the southerly aspect and lead from the conservatory and study where a variety of paved seating areas offer the perfect spot for summer entertaining. From here we step onto the lawns which are framed with a variety of well planned beds that allow us to take in the far reaching views. A summer house is in situ whilst a low wall frames the swimming pool further adding to the enjoyment of the space in the summer months. On the northern boundary we find an extensive working area that offers a garage and variety of sheds and the kitchen gardens.
