Description

DESCRIPTION Tucked away along a quiet no-through lane in the heart of the sought-after village of Letcombe Bassett, this beautifully presented detached cottage has been thoughtfully modernised and enhanced to provide stylish and comfortable accommodation throughout. Occupying a peaceful setting, the property combines period charm with contemporary convenience, offering a wonderful opportunity to enjoy village living at its finest. The accommodation extends to approximately 893 sq ft and is arranged over two floors. At its heart is a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, designed for modern living and opening via French doors onto a sheltered east-facing covered terrace. This delightful outdoor space provides an ideal setting for entertaining guests, al fresco dining or enjoying a morning coffee overlooking the garden. The attractive dual-aspect sitting room is filled with natural light and features a wood-burning stove, creating a welcoming focal point and a particularly cosy atmosphere during the winter months. Generous ceiling heights throughout further enhance the sense of space and character. On the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both served by stylish shower rooms, offering flexible accommodation for couples, downsizers, professionals or those seeking a country retreat. Outside, steps rise from the terrace to a charming landscaped garden laid predominantly to lawn and complemented by a variety of established shrubs and flowering plants. The garden enjoys a pleasant degree of privacy and provides an attractive backdrop to the cottage. A single garage and private parking complete the property.
