EXPERIENCE the very best of both worlds at Oak Cottage, a light-filled and utterly unique design-led home, whose contemporary comforts bely its comforting 'cottage' title.

Marketed by Currans Unique Homes is the private and peaceful property 'Oak Cottage' just 0.6 miles from the centre of the Higher Kinnerton village.

The £1 million cottage is effortlessly stylish and landscaped with raised borders and a mature planting frame as the entrance.

An internal glazed door opens into the entrance hall, a broad and bright space, where stairs lead up on the left to the ground floor living space, and bountiful bedrooms await on the right.

Turning left along this inner hallway, discover the master suite, the first of three large bedrooms on this level, carpeted underfoot, and awash with light courtesy of a large window which frames views out over the private, enclosed garden.

With mountains of storage available in the wall of fitted wardrobes, the master bedroom also has its own recessed washing area, with vanity unit sink and mirror.

Further along the hallway, two bedrooms are positioned opposite each other.

Along the hallway a second family bathroom, tiled in a combination of greys, offers refreshment, furnished with modern heated towel radiator, walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

From the hallway there is also access to the single garage, which is currently used for storage.

The cottage also features an open plan family kitchen diner, the heart of the home, where high Velux windows with solar powered blinds, and a wall of glass in the west-facing extension to the right, bring the outdoors in.

Flow through to the dining room, where bifolding oak and glass doors pull back to create a seamless space.

Continue through into the enormous living room, where a stunning central log-burning stove serves as a cosy focal point. Views to the garden at either side are framed by windows.

Beyond the living room, and also accessible by its own private staircase is a versatile room which could serve as an additional bedroom, office, gym or even a cinema room, with drop down three metre cinema screen.

The garden, south facing, soaks up the sun all day long, with so many spaces to dine alfresco and entertain, including the rear decking and a large patio to the front.

Along the left-hand side, the lawn is flat and fresh, with bowling green appeal, whilst to the right hand side of the back lawn, discover the gin and tonic corner, the ideal place for a summer house should you desire.

The property's current owner said: "It's nice to walk in to the village if you want to go to the pub but it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere."
