Description

Dymond Cottage is a gorgeous four-bedroom home in the heart of Highmoor Cross that has been beautifully extended and refurbished.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a family snug room enhanced by a fireplace, providing the ideal space for a cosy evening or a children's play area. Opposite, the main sitting room offers space for entertaining and relaxing, while the exposed beams and wood burner add character and charm.

With a seamless flow into the dining area and kitchen, the results of the current owners' labour are evident. Centred around a kitchen island boasting a breakfast bar and wine cooler, the bespoke handmade kitchen offers ample storage and built-in appliances to support a growing family. A wine store cabinet and a storage cupboard accompany the kitchen. Off the kitchen is a generous utility room, which includes an additional downstairs cloakroom and a study with views over the rear garden.

On the first floor, the principal suite features considerable storage and benefits from an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is ideal for guests, while the third and fourth bedrooms are well-suited for young children. Great attention to detail is evident throughout, with the family bathroom serving bedrooms two, three, and four.

Outside, a generous private driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles. With side access to the rear of the property, additional doors offer access in to the rear porch. The patio extends from the dining area through French double doors, perfect for long summer evenings and alfresco dining. The mature garden has been meticulously maintained and enjoys countryside views, with the added bonus of an elevated patio overlooking the pasture.
