Charming One-Bedroom Cottage with Log Burner & Modern Finish — Elm Cottages, Laleston

Tucked away off a peaceful private lane in the sought-after village of Laleston, this rare one-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers the perfect balance of period charm and modern comfort. Believed to date back to the mid-17th century, the home has been beautifully updated throughout while retaining its cosy, characterful feel.

The open-plan kitchen and lounge form the heart of the home, featuring an exposed stone wall with a log burner, white-painted beams, and grey tiled flooring. The stylish fitted kitchen runs along one wall with grey cabinetry, wood-effect worktops, and integrated appliances, combining functionality with a clean, modern aesthetic. White-framed windows and an ivory uPVC front door bring in natural light, while built-in shelving and subtle details add charm and practicality.

To the ground floor, you’ll also find a contemporary shower room with a sliding wooden door, grey tiling, and a corner glass-enclosed shower, complemented by modern fittings, vanity storage, and spotlights for a bright, fresh feel.

A set of open-tread stairs leads to the loft-style bedroom, a peaceful retreat with sloped ceilings, white beams, and soft neutral décor.

Outside, the front courtyard offers a low-maintenance space ideal for seating or potted plants, accessed via a shared gate. There’s also a separate outbuilding, fully boarded and plastered — perfect for use as a home office, studio, or additional living space.
