Old Ryarsh Lane

Fern Cottage is an attractive country home with a particularly appealing exterior, combining red brick, timber cladding and painted render to pleasing effect. Inside, the house balances period character with thoughtful modern updates. Crossing the stone courtyard, you enter an oak-framed garden room filled with natural light, designed to link the principal rooms and provide an extension to the dining area, to comfortably seat 20 or more people, making it ideal for family celebrations. Elsewhere, the cottage retains original detail, including exposed timbers complemented by calm, neutral decoration. The sitting room has a wood-burning stove, while the oak-panelled snug, with its open fire, offers a more intimate retreat. The kitchen/dining/family room is a generous triple-aspect space designed for everyday living and informal entertaining. It is fitted with solid oak cabinetry, a Belfast sink and a central island, with French doors opening directly to the patio and garden beyond. The main bedroom looks over the garden and has an en suite with a large shower and separate bath. There are four bedrooms in total, accessed via three staircases that provide independent living spaces, as well as a separate, well-appointed family bathroom and an additional downstairs toilet.
