White Cottage

The house has been sympathetically updated and cared for by the present owner who has created the flexible and versatile home that stands today. For those with equestrian interests, there are a variety of excellent facilities including stabling for nine horses, a rug room, multiple tack rooms and a floodlit manège.
A traditional front door opens to a porch area which in turn leads to a pleasant hall with a spacious guest WC with storage off.
The vast sitting room is located off the back of the entrance hall and offers exceptional entertaining space. Filled with natural light from the bay window, the sitting room offers idyllic views across the terrace and paddocks beyond, as well as characterful internal features such as a part, beamed ceiling and electric fire which provides an excellent focal point.
The garden room is accessed via a set of double doors from the sitting room and adds an additional dimension to this large entertaining space.
A cosy snug is accessible off the entrance hall and sitting room and provides a useful additional area for day-to-day living. A further door leads into the bright and dual aspect kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of wall and floor cabinetry set under a granite work surface as well as a range of integrated appliances including a fridge and dishwasher. Two steps lead down to the light breakfast area which offers plenty of space for informal dining as well as double doors to the rear terrace. The rear hallway is located adjacent to the kitchen breakfast room and provides access to a large formal dining room with a beamed ceiling and a brick fireplace. A further guest WC and utility/boot room is found off the rear hallway, with the utility/boot room offering space for further appliances.
The bedroom accommodation is split across the ground and first floors. The vast principal suite is found on the ground floor and offers a large dual-aspect bedroom area, en suite bathroom and dual aspect dressing area with a range of fitted cabinetry. At first floor level, a spacious guest suite is accompanied by a large en suite bathroom with a separate shower. There are three further bedrooms, two of which benefit from a Jack & Jill en suite bathroom, and a further room which is currently used for storage but would make a well-proportioned bathroom. All bedroom accommodation benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes and enjoy views of the surrounding gardens and grounds.
Electric gates open to a sweeping driveway that meanders through the grounds and opens to a large parking area for numerous vehicles. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with a variety of specimen trees and herbaceous shrubs. A pathway leads around the front and side of the house, whilst a large, split level and west-facing terrace dominate the rear of the house. The terrace makes the most of the views across the adjoining paddocks and also incorporates a fully insulated detached summer house which could make an ideal home office, studio or gym.
The driveway continues through a further set of gates and then
opens into a courtyard which includes a large area of hardstanding, ideal for a horsebox. There are two buildings set either side. The first offers a double garage, workshop and a tractor/mower shed, whilst the second offers a further garage, rug room, five large stables, tack room and an open barn to the rear. Set within the paddocks is a further stable block, which offers an additional four stables, three with tack rooms within, a further store and open barn. All outbuildings benefit from water, power and light. Opposite the buildings is a 40 x 20 floodlit, flexi ride manège, which is a highly useful addition and has direct access to the remainder of the plot which is split into five fenced paddocks. The plot totals approx. 7.02 acres all in all.
