This stunning three-bedroom period cottage has been thoughtfully redesigned to create a home that blends timeless charm with modern living. Occupying a private and peaceful position, it enjoys breath taking views across a tranquil lake and the surrounding countryside, making it a rare and highly desirable retreat.

Approached via a raised decking terrace, the property immediately sets the tone with French doors leading directly into the beautifully appointed kitchen and dining room. This bright and inviting space features an attractive range of wall and base units, complemented by granite worktops, an integrated electric hob and oven, and plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine. Slate tiled flooring with underfloor heating runs throughout, while exposed beams add a touch of character. The French doors and large windows frame spectacular views over the lake, ensuring this is a room that feels connected to the outdoors and perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

From the kitchen, a striking staircase leads to a mezzanine study area, which provides an excellent vantage point overlooking both the kitchen and the sitting room. This gallery-style space offers the ideal setting for home working, a library, or a quiet retreat, and is complemented by a cloakroom and a useful store cupboard. The sitting room itself is full of charm and warmth, with exposed beams and generous proportions, making it an inviting place to relax and unwind.

Stairs from the kitchen also lead down to the lower ground floor, where the central bedroom accommodation is located. The principal bedroom is a generous double, complete with a well-appointed en-suite shower room and ample space for freestanding furniture. Two further good-sized bedrooms provide flexible options for family, guests, or hobbies, and are served by a modern family bathroom. This layout ensures the property is both practical and beautiful, with private spaces separated from the main living areas above.

Outside, the cottage continues to impress. A decked terrace at the front of the property offers an excellent vantage point over the lake, perfect for alfresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The decking continues around to the side of the house, leading to a charming courtyard garden featuring a small patio, lawn, and a variety of shrubs and flower borders, which create a private and attractive outdoor space. There is also a storage area and a designated parking space, with additional parking available beyond the fisherman’s car park near the dam.

This unique cottage seamlessly blends period character with contemporary design in a truly picturesque setting. With mains electricity, mains water, private drainage, and oil-fired central heating, it offers comfort and practicality alongside its undeniable charm. Rarely does a property present such a perfect balance of traditional character, modern convenience, and stunning natural surroundings.
