The Big Little Shack & Cozy Cottage, Crafton
£625,000

Welcome to The Big Little Shack

Rare, unique and undeniably stylish, The Big Little Shack is a truly special modern home that makes an impression from the moment you arrive. From its fantastic kerb appeal to the feeling you get as soon as you step through the front door, this is a property that is sure to capture your heart.

Approaching the property, there is off-road parking for three cars, and as you open the front door you are immediately welcomed into a bright, contemporary and wonderfully open-plan home.

The living area sits directly as you enter, with an enormous single-pane window overlooking the garden, flooding the space with natural light. Throughout the property, the beautiful exposed beams add warmth, character and a real sense of individuality, perfectly complementing the modern design.

Moving through into the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, the sleek white kitchen units reflect the property’s pared-back contemporary style and incorporate integral oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. The kitchen is finished beautifully with designer crescent wall tiles and slate-grey chevron flooring, which continues throughout the home.

The open-plan living space is flooded with natural light, thanks to the wall of bifold doors which open directly onto the rear garden, together with the enormous window. The result is a wonderfully calm and inviting space that is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

Completing the ground floor is a large double bedroom with a modern en-suite shower room, featuring state-of-the-art fittings including twin washbasins. This is a fantastic example of future-proofed living, as the room could equally work as a home office, snug or guest suite if a ground-floor bedroom is not required.

Heading upstairs, the property continues to impress, with the characterful exposed beams continuing throughout.

A funky open-step timber and steel staircase rises to the first floor, leading to a stunning vaulted and beamed landing with glass banister. A centrally positioned Velux window above the landing brings even more natural light into the heart of the home.

The first floor provides two gloriously light and airy double bedrooms. One bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows positioned opposite each other, creating a bright and spacious feel, while the impressive master bedroom is a real standout feature, with three windows positioned across different angles to maximise the natural light.

The bedrooms are complemented by a large, modern shower room with WC, continuing the stylish and contemporary finish found throughout the property.

Outside, the landscaped and manageable rear garden is a fantastic extension of the living space.

The garden is private and fully enclosed, with a number of patio areas positioned to make the most of the sunshine throughout the day. Whether you’re entertaining friends, enjoying a morning coffee or relaxing in the evening, there are plenty of spaces to sit back and enjoy the outdoors.

And then there’s the cute five-hole putting green — a unique feature that really sets this property apart and provides a fun and unusual addition to the garden.

With its combination of patio areas, landscaped surroundings and putting green, the garden is both stylish and practical while remaining easy to maintain.

The Big Little Shack really is a home that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The combination of modern open-plan living, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, incredible natural light, bifold doors, contemporary finishes and a wonderfully designed private garden makes this a truly individual property.

Whether you’re looking for a stylish modern home, a property designed for entertaining, or simply somewhere a little different from the ordinary, The Big Little Shack has all the ingredients to make it feel like home from the moment you walk through the door.
