Summary

This beautifully renovated and extended three-bedroom detached period cottage offers a seamless blend of character and contemporary open-plan living. Having undergone a comprehensive transformation in 2017 with further bespoke improvements by the current owner, the home features a striking modern layout. The heart of the residence is an expansive breakfast kitchen equipped with premium Neff appliances and a central island featuring a built-in wine cooler and breakfast bar. This space flows effortlessly into a bright living and dining area, where four-panel triple-glazed bi-folding doors blur the line between the interior and the countryside beyond. For quieter moments, a cosy separate lounge provides a warm retreat anchored by a feature log burner.

The property is as much a piece of art as it is a home, highlighted by an impressive, vibrant mural by artist Eloisa Henderson-Figueroa that follows the stairway to the first floor. All three well-appointed bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and private en-suite facilities for ultimate convenience. The master suite is a particular standout, boasting an elegant Juliette balcony that captures far-reaching rural views alongside a luxurious four-piece en-suite bathroom. Practicality is matched by high-specification finishes throughout, including triple glazing, modern gas central heating, and an extensive block-paved driveway complete with an EV charging point.

Outside, the non-overlooked rear garden is a haven for nature, featuring a British native wildlife micro-meadow and a paved patio area designed for alfresco dining against a scenic backdrop. In 2023, the garage was expertly converted into a versatile studio, providing an ideal workspace for those working from home or potential for an annexe or holiday let, thanks to the inclusion of a dedicated shower room. An externally accessed utility room further adds to the home's functional design.
The historic village of Scampton offers a peaceful, community-focused lifestyle steeped in heritage as the former home of the Red Arrows and the Dambusters.
