The accommodation at Ivytodd Cottage is both generous and thoughtfully arranged, offering a natural flow that suits everyday family life while remaining equally well suited to entertaining.
The ground floor opens via a welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the character and proportions found throughout the house.
The principal sitting room is a warm and inviting space, enjoying views and direct access to the garden, and providing an ideal setting for relaxed evenings.
Double doors connect through to a bright and well-proportioned dining room, creating a flexible layout that works beautifully for both formal occasions and informal gatherings.

To the far wing of the house, a dedicated study provides a quiet and secluded workspace, ideal for home working or reading, positioned conveniently alongside a well-appointed family bathroom, further enhancing the flexibility of the ground-floor accommodation.
The first floor continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying a pleasant outlook over the surrounding grounds.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous, offering a calm and restful retreat.
The remaining bedrooms are served by a centrally positioned family bathroom, while the landing provides excellent circulation and useful storage, ensuring the house functions comfortably as a family home.
Outside The property is set within beautifully established grounds that offer a rare degree of privacy and versatility.
The exterior is anchored by a substantial double garage, which serves as the base for the first annexe.
For those seeking a dedicated wellness or professional space, a separate, well-proportioned gym/office building is situated within the garden, providing an ideal retreat from the main house.
The expansive plot features a blend of paved terrace areas—perfect for al fresco dining—and manicured lawns, all coming together to create a sophisticated outdoor environment that complements the extensive internal accommodation.
Situated above the double garage, Annexe One offers a fully self-contained suite, ideal for guests or multi-generational living.
The upper floor comprises a large bedroom with integrated storage and a private en-suite shower room, while a kitchenette at ground-floor level allows for complete independence from the main house.
Annexe Two provides further versatility and is arranged as a detached, single-storey building.
It incorporates a spacious bedroom with en-suite facilities and a secondary kitchenette, making it perfectly suited to long-term guests, an au pair, or independent living.
Positioned adjacent to the gym/office building, this annexe also lends itself well to home-working or creative use.
