THE COTTAGE
Luson Cottage is an attractive stone-built home with climbing plants across its south-facing elevation. The accommodation has a comfortable, informal feel, retaining exposed beams, deep-set windows, timber floors and two wood-burning stoves, balanced by lighter, more contemporary finishes.
ACCOMMODATION
The kitchen and dining room forms the main living space, with timber cabinetry, a central island and a range cooker. The dining area is arranged around a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove. Alongside, the sitting room has exposed beams, timber flooring, a further wood-burning stove and doors opening towards the garden.
A further room with a vaulted ceiling is currently used as a studio and provides useful flexibility as a playroom, snug or home office.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a triple-aspect principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, together with a separate shower room. The overall arrangement is practical and adaptable, with space for family life, guests and working from home.
