Osborne Cottage is an attractive, part timber framed, period country house with origins believed to date back to the 1600s and later additions. It offers light and airy, well-proportioned and presented accommodation with beautiful gardens that wrap around it. It is in an exquisite rural and peaceful spot with views that can be enjoyed from all aspects across the open surrounding countryside.
The front door opens to an entrance hall off which is a cloakroom.
The drawing room has a brick fireplace housing a Clearview Stove and glazed French doors open to the rear paved terrace and there is also a useful study with built-in shelving.
The fitted kitchen/dining room has exposed timbers and glazed French doors that open to the rear terrace. The kitchen has granite worktops, a double Belfast sink and the units are handmade with elm wood. Appliances include an integrated dishwasher and fridge, electric fan-assisted oven and an oil fired AGA.
Off the kitchen is a large, fitted utility room with a Belfast sink and space for a washer dryer and further appliances. There is a loft hatch and ladder to a large vaulted storage room with a skylight that offers potential to be converted into additional living space. There is also a door from the utility to a scullery/boot room with shelving and a worktop.
A turning staircase in the entrance hall rises to the upstairs galleried landing. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, recessed shelving and an en suite with a walk-in double shower. There are three further double bedrooms served by a family bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Gardens and Grounds
Five-bar gates set on brick pillars open to the gravel drive leading to gravel parking and the detached double garage.

The front and rear gardens are wonderfully mature and comprise formal gardens along with wildlife garden areas, where paths have been mown through.
Throughout the gardens are well-stocked borders of perennial and evergreen plants providing all-year round interest and colour. There are also a mix of ancient varieties of roses including ramblers with the most beautiful scent, and the newer David Austin roses that produce an abundance of flowers. There are a range of mature trees that also include productive fruit trees comprising many species of pear (Perry and dessert), apples (both dessert and cooking), cherries and many varieties of plums such as Victoria, Cezar, Greengage, Damson and Yellow Plums.
The front garden includes a charming summer house with French doors, timber garden storage shed and an enclosed vegetable garden.

The rear garden is south-facing with a paved terrace providing the perfect spot for al fresco dining whilst taking in the fine gardens and views over the open countryside. The terrace also features an eye-catching glass, pitched roof gazebo with a climbing grapevine that every autumn is laden with grapes. From the paved terrace steps lead up to a lawned garden that also includes a summer house, greenhouse and a kitchen garden with raised beds planted with currants, red gooseberry, autumn and summer raspberries and a productive strawberry bed.
