In a world of large, modern homes, there is something rather special about a home that simply feels cosy, comfortable and uncomplicated.
Tucked away below the road, behind a wooden fence and down a flight of stairs, this charming cottage feels like its own little hideaway. Warm, homely and wonderfully private, it is a home with character rather than pretension.
The open-plan living area welcomes you with terracotta tiled floors, a built-in fireplace and doors opening onto a small wooden patio with glimpses of the mountain. The practical galley kitchen has fittings for a dishwasher and washing machine, while the first bedroom and bathroom are conveniently positioned on this level.
Upstairs, a lovely landing creates a cosy space for a reading nook or casual lounge. A second light-filled bedroom and bathroom complete this level.
And then comes the unexpected bonus.
Below the main home, with its own entrance, is a versatile additional room with its own bathroom and doors opening onto the patio. Use it as a home office, teenage retreat, hobby room or private space for guests. Separate from the main home, it offers privacy while still being close at hand.
Outside, established terraced areas invite those with green fingers to create their own garden, while the cottage's tucked-away position adds to its sense of privacy.
This isn't a home about polished finishes or modern perfection. It's about character, warmth, privacy and the simple pleasure of having a little place of your own.
