Description
Owing to the level of interest in this property, we have been instructed by the vendor not to carry out any further viewings.
Elm Cottage is a pretty detached house, believed to date from the seventeenth century, with later additions and extensions creating a comfortable three bedroom house, which has been cleverly designed with many interior windows ensuing natural light throughout the ground floor.
The cosy sitting room has a painted brick inglenook set with a wood-burning stove, and sliding glazed door to the under stairs shelving. The dining room also has space for a study area, and the kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with a good range of cupboards, solid wood counters and space for a range cooker and breakfast table. It opens to a lovely sun room offering a tranquil space to sit and enjoy the views across the garden and surrounding landscape. Beyond lies the inner hall, which gives access to the ground floor bathroom, and opening out to a rear hall/playroom, beyond which lies the utility room.
There are three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor; each bedroom has built-in cupboards.
The floorplans give an excellent overview of the full layout of the property.
The house is set within 3.63 acres of gardens and grounds, and offers an excellent range of outbuildings, some with power connected, including an open barn, garaging, workshops, timber storage sheds and a detached home office with WC. Their full extent can be seen on the floorplans.
The equestrian facilities are arranged to the side of the house, comprising three stables tack room and hay store with hardstanding yard and direct access to the bridleway, 40m x 20m sand school, and two secure paddocks with water connected.
Close to the house, the formal gardens have been landscaped, and there is a patio to the rear giving access to the outdoor pool enclosure.
About 3.63 acres.
