There is something special about a cottage and Olivia Cottage has all of the character, convenience and space you would hope for. Unexpectedly back on the market, offering no onward chain and blending period charm with modern style, the result is a masterpiece suitable for the most discerning of buyers.

Downstairs boasts two beautiful spaces - a generous living room and an open-plan kitchen/dining room, housed in a modern extension. Upstairs you find two stunning double bedrooms with lots of built in storage and space. The brand new bathroom has been lovingly and recently installed and decorated to create a calm vibe for a long soak after a hard day.

The pretty courtyard garden is a low maintenance, west-facing space to grow potted plants and veg, and sit with a cup of tea or an evening cocktail.

Fresh from nipping to the locally-renowned bakery or butchers, or the well-stocked local store 400 yards away, the storm canopy is a useful place to drop the shopping bags, strip off the wet coat and dump the muddy shoes. It's an underestimated addition but vital for a proud homeowner who likes to keep things spick and span. Parking for four, yes FOUR, cars on the newly-relaid driveway to the front is just unheard of outside such a character property.

The living room is ideal for curling up on comfy sofas, firing up the log burner and watching the latest Netflix must-see, whilst the dining space is large enough for a full family feast. We love the connection to the garden through the back door, whilst the kitchen windows flood this space with light. An open fireplace in this room really is the cherry on top.

The main bedroom has lots of built-in storage and plenty of room for more freestanding furniture as well as a big bed. Bedroom two is ideal as a guest double bedroom, a child's room or even a spare room / office. We love the design of the bathroom and we can imagine calming baths and refreshing morning showers.

Olivia Cottage is so much more than a simple pretty little thing - it is a cleverly designed semi-detached home with big rooms, roaring fires and a gorgeous feel. Aside from all the charm, it oozes modern practicality, with its current owners having invested their time (and cash!) in fitting new windows, doors and carpets, fencing and gate, as well as updating the roofing and damp-proofing to ensure the property stands up to all the rigours of modern life. Deceptively spacious is an over-used cliche, but here it really is true; come and see it to believe it.
