Charming Grade II listed character cottage, set in delightful gardens.
Description
A charming and most attractively presented Grade II listed character cottage, the original part of which is believed to date from the 17th century. The appealing elevations are of red brick and render, under a mainly thatched and partly slate roof, enhanced by a recently rebuilt Oak entrance porch. The cottage has been the subject of sympathetic and stylish improvement by the current owner over the last four years, including the installation of a bespoke, hand-made painted wood fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and an Aga, and a luxurious family bathroom with freestanding bath and Philippe Starck fittings. Of particular note are the excellent garden studio with verandah and the workshop, both of which would be perfect for use as home offices.
The accommodation includes an oak entrance porch with front door leading to a reception hall/study, with mellow quarry tile floor, the main reception is arranged as a snug and sitting room with beamed ceiling, impressive inglenook fireplace with heavy beam over and a modern log burner, oak flooring and an area of tongue and groove wall panelling, the delightful kitchen/dining room features French doors onto a secluded terrace, and is fitted with a range of bespoke hand painted units with granite worktops, a double Belfast sink with plate rack over, an electrical Total Control Aga, Miele dishwasher and Bosch refrigerator, and a dining area with oak topped bench seating. Also on the ground floor, approached from the reception hall are a useful utility room with a range of wood units, sink, plumbing and space for washer and dryer, and a cloakroom with WC and basin off.
From the snug, a staircase leads up to the first floor landing with shelved cupboard, the principal bedroom suite includes a generous bedroom with custom fitted wardrobes in oak and a modern shower room with glazed shower, WC and basin, the second bedroom has a pretty cast iron fire surround, and the third bedroom has dual aspect windows, a vaulted ceiling, built in wardrobe and airing cupboard. The recently fitted family bathroom features an oval shaped freestanding bath, counter top basin with storage beneath and WC, with Philippe Starck fittings. The cottage has the benefit of oil fired central heating via an external boiler at the rear of the cottage and a supplementary water heater for the kitchen.
Outside
The lovely cottage gardens are a particular feature, being most attractively laid out and well stocked with a wide variety of herbaceous plants, specimen shrubs and trees. The gardens enjoy wonderful open views across rolling farmland, which the property immediately adjoins. The cottage is approached from a shingle parking area for four cars to one side and a pretty lytch gate and winding shingle pathway lead through the gardens to the front door. Just outside the kitchen doors is a secluded paved terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining. At the rear of the garden is a productive kitchen garden with fruit trees, a greenhouse and a garden shed. The charming Garden Studio would be ideal for use as a home office or hobbies room, and also features an oak framed verandah which is the perfect place from which to enjoy a glass of wine and the stunning views over adjoining farmland. The separate and substantial Workshop is arranged as three rooms. Both have wood weatherboard cladding with cedar shingle roofs, power, light, and wi-fi, and the workshop has a water supply.
